Tendons, Aponeuroses, and Fasciæ
Tendons are white, glistening, fibrous cords, varying in length and thickness, sometimes round, sometimes flattened, and devoid of elasticity. They consist almost entirely of white fibrous tissue, the… More »

PURPOSE: To study collagen fibre thickness and crimp formation in healthy and ruptured human tendons. ... RESULTS: In the normal (healthy) tendons, the diameter and crimp angle of the collagen fibres varied greatly between the four different tendons, the thickest fibres with the largest crimp angle being in the Achilles...

The three-dimensional ultrastructure of human tendons has been studied. Epitenon and peritenon consist of a dense network of longitudinal, oblique and transversal collagen fibrils crossing the tendon fibres. The internal structure of tendon fibres is also complex.
