Fig. 1From: Reattachment of the flexor and extensor tendons at the epicondyle in elbow instability: a biomechanical comparison of techniquesBefore testing, care was taken to ensure that the common tendon was aligned vertically to the humeral shaft axis. The distance from tendon insertion to the clamped and frozen muscles was routinely chosen to be 7 cm, while the distance between the most distal part of the humerus and the potted plaster was routinely about 5 cm (T = tendons, H = humerus)Back to article page
