Previous studies have utilized ultrashort echo (UTE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and derived T2* maps, to evaluate structures with highly ordered collagen structures such as tendon. T2* maps may provide a noninvasive means to assess tendon damage and healing. This pilot study evaluated the longitudinal relationship of an induced mechanical strain on the patellar tendon with corresponding UTE T2* metrics, histologic and biomechanical evaluation at two post-operative time points.
