Experimental and Numerical Analysis of the Tendon Repair Process Using Tubular Braided Fabrics

This paper presents the experimental and numerical analysis of the potential of a braided fabric for flexor tendon repair. Numerical models of tubular braided fabrics were generated using a python script interface and imported into ABAQUS® while Flexor tendon models were represented as silicone rubb...
