2 Line drawings and photographs illustrating vector production and the delivery of AAV2-bFGF gene to the tendon. Jin Bo Tang et al. J Bone Joint Surg Am 2008;90:1078-1089 ©2008 by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc.

3 Diagram illustrating the assignment of chickens and their toes to different time-points of evaluation and experimental groups. Jin Bo Tang et al. J Bone Joint Surg Am 2008;90:1078-1089 ©2008 by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc.

4 Photographs and diagrams illustrating the test setup for determination of the work of simulated active digital flexion. Jin Bo Tang et al. J Bone Joint Surg Am 2008;90:1078-1089 ©2008 by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc.

5 Bar graphs illustrating the ultimate strength of the repaired flexor digitorum profundus tendon at two, four, and eight weeks after surgery. Jin Bo Tang et al. J Bone Joint Surg Am 2008;90:1078-1089 ©2008 by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc.

6 At four weeks, the flexor tendons that had been treated with AAV2-bFGFshowed a smoother gliding surface and better tissue continuity at the repair site than did the tendons without treatment.

7 Line graph illustrating adhesions scores at four evaluation time-points. Jin Bo Tang et al. J Bone Joint Surg Am 2008;90:1078-1089 ©2008 by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc.

8 Bar graph illustrating the work of simulated active flexion of the digits at eight and twelve weeks after surgery. Jin Bo Tang et al. J Bone Joint Surg Am 2008;90:1078-1089 ©2008 by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc.
