Freezing of orthopaedic specimens before mechanical testing. Abstract Text:

Z A Ralis,

The effect of storage at sub-zero temperatures and subsequent thawing was investigated in dissected muscles, tendons, limbs and spines. Freezing caused a noticeable shortening of muscles which when thawed could easily be elongated; the same effects, though less pronounced, were observed with tendons. During freezing, myotomy or tenotomy led to the development of a striking deformity owing to unopposed shortening of the opposing muscles. After thawing, all frozen specimens containing muscles and joints showed an increased range of passive movements, easily demonstrable by mild tensile forces.
