"Doctor Yang, let me test you. Why do we intentionally leave some peritendinous tissue when harvesting the transplant tendon?"
Zhou Can threw this question to Yang Zhi.
"Is it for better fixation of the tendon?"
Yang Zhi clearly didn't quite understand either.
According to common reasoning, leaving some peritendinous tissue when taking a tendon can facilitate suturing and fixation.
"Let me ask you, what is the function of a tendon?"
Zhou Can answered with a question of his own.
"It's to help the limbs perform movements! For example, the flexor and extensor tendons help the fingers perform flexion and extension actions."
Yang Zhi answered without hesitation.
Anyone who studies medicine knows the function of tendons, right?
"Why can the finger flexor and extensor tendons help finger movement?"
Zhou Can asked further with a hint of a smile in his eyes.
