Tendon Personalities

Description

Do tendons have personalities? I think, just like people they have individual inherent strengths, weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

All tendons have three points of potential failure, the enthesis, the tendon itself and the musculotendinous junction. Enjoy this presentation where we explore the unique personalities of some commonly examined tendons.
