Title: | Shear elastic modulus on patellar tendon captured from supersonic shear imaging : correlation with tangent traction modulus computed from material testing system and test–retest reliability | Authors: | Zhang, ZJ Fu, SN |
Issue Date: | 27-Jun-2013 | Source: | PLoS one, 27 June 2013, v. 8, no. 6, e68216, p. 1-9 | Abstract: | Characterization of the elastic properties of a tendon could enhance the diagnosis and treatment of tendon injuries. The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation between the shear elastic modulus on the patellar tendon captured from a Supersonic Shear Imaging (SSI) and the tangent traction modulus computed from a Material testing system (MTS) on 8 fresh patellar pig tendons (Experiment I). Test–retest reliability of the shear elastic modulus captured from the SSI was established in Experiment II on 22 patellar tendons of 11 healthy human subjects using the SSI. Spearman Correlation coefficients for the shear elastic modulus and tangent traction modulus ranged from 0.82 to 1.00 (all p<0.05) on the 8 tendons. The intra and inter-operator reliabilities were 0.98 (95% CI: 0.93–0.99) and 0.97 (95% CI: 0.93–0.98) respectively. The results from this study demonstrate that the shear elastic modulus of the patellar tendon measured by the SSI is related to the tangent traction modulus quantified by the MTS. The SSI shows good intra and inter-operator repeatability. Therefore, the present study shows that SSI can be used to assess elastic properties of a tendon. | Publisher: | Public Library of Science | Journal: | PLoS one | EISSN: | 1932-6203 | DOI: | 10.1371/journal.pone.0068216 | Rights: | © 2013 Zhang et al.
