Tissue Shrinkage With the Holmium:Yttrium Aluminum Garnet Laser: A Postoperative Assessment of Tissue Length, Stiffness, and Structure

The effect of laser energy on the length, stiffness, and structure of connective tissue was examined in a rabbit patellar tendon model. A holmium:yttrium-aluminum- garnet laser was used to deliver a calculated dose of laser energy (300 J/cm2) to one randomly selected patellar tendon in each of 13 ad...
