Declarations

:

: Not relevant—The present study is a biomechanical study. No human tissue, no patient data, and no intervention or treatment was performed. The animal material used was derived from pigs used at the Institute of Food Hygiene of the University of Leipzig for training veterinarians in meat inspection. The tendons were removed prior to the disposal of the carcasses, which was planned anyway afterwards.Since neither human material nor animals were killed for the study, there is no need for an ethical vote from the authors' point of view.

: Not applicable.
