Objective:

To quantify FHL tendon retraction after simulated hallux-level laceration under controlled tensile loading.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • The study established a method for measuring tendon retraction in the FHL muscle.
    • Controlled tensile loading was applied to simulate conditions of tendon laceration.
    Interpretation:

    Remove this section to comply with guidelines.

    Limitations:
    • The study was conducted on cadaveric specimens, which may not fully replicate in vivo conditions.
    • The sample size was limited to six cadavers.
    Conclusion:

    Revise to focus solely on the study's findings without implications.
