    Biomechanical investigations of tendons are crucial for understanding soft-tissue behavior and improving surgical techniques.

  • 2

    Tendons are prone to slippage during tensile tests, leading to inaccurate measurements and limited reproducibility.

  • 3

    Various fixation techniques exist, but many can cause tendon deformation or slippage, compromising measurement reliability.

  • 4

    This study compares four fixation techniques for sheep Achilles tendons to identify a practical, low-cost method.

  • 5

    Forty sheep Achilles tendon specimens were tested under standardized conditions to assess biomechanical strength.
