Structure and collagen crimp patterns of functionally distinct equine tendons, revealed by quantitative polarised light microscopy (qPLM).

Higher birefringence was measured in fascicular regions of picrosirius red stained sections relative to matched unstained sections in both tendon types, and these differences were highly significant ( p < 0.00001 for both SDFTs and CDETs).

However, it was notable that differences in fascicular birefringence between SDFT and CDET fascicles approached significance, and with increased sample numbers, significant differences between fibre arrangements in the two tendon types may become apparent.
