The Effect of Immobilization on Collagen Turnover in Connective Tissue: A Biochemical-Biomechanical Correlation
Open accessAbstract
Immobilization of the knee joint for 9 weeks results in a reduction of the mechanical properties in the lateral collateral ligament. Specifically, ligament stiffness is reduced in this tissue. No statistical change in collagen mass was detected for the medial collateral ligament (MCL) or patellar tendon. An increase in collagen turnover (synthesis and degradation) was, however, found in the immobilized medial collateral ligament and patellar tendon. It is thus proposed that stiffness reduction is due to a change in the ligament substance itself, rather than a result of tissue atrophy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
