Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was used to monitor various flexor tendon states including tendon at rest, normal tendons during loading, tendon microstructural damage post loading, and healing tendons at 0, 3, and 8 weeks time points.Potential uses include assessing microstructural damage, monitoring the quality of suture repair, and tendon healing. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
