Description

In this Simini Surgery Podcast Fast Track Update episode, we tackle the complex biomechanics and frustrating biology of tendon and ligament healing.

We cover:

• The shape and phases of the stress-strain curve
• Why tendons and ligaments fail differently than bone
• The three stages of healing: inflammation, proliferation, remodeling
• Why healed tissue is never as strong — and how scar tissue disrupts force transfer
• Repair strategies: Krackow vs. locking loop, suture tension, and rehab timing
• Why conservative management often fails, and how to reduce re-rupture risk

If you’ve ever wondered why a repaired tendon still ruptures — or why scarred ligaments lose proprioception — this episode gives you the mechanical reasoning to back up your clinical instincts.
