Each circle represents the outcome of one patient, but sometimes the circles are very close or even merge. Univariate analysis followed by regression analyses showed that a higher concentration of procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (PINP) in the injured Achilles tendon (AT) was related to greater fatigue in the same affected AT (R=0.47, p=0.003). The Achilles tendon Total Rupture Score (ATRS) fatigue data scale was set as (0–10), where 10=no fatigue and 0=worst level of limitation. The figure also illustrates that many patients are affected by fatigue in their injured limb at 1-year follow-up.
