Congratulations to Dr. Dyment, Dr. Kuntz, and Dr. Soslowsky for their collaborative work with many others on the manuscript "Preclinical Tendon and Ligament Models: Beyond the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement) to 5W1H (Why, Who, What, Where, When, How)" which was accepted for publication in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research! This review summarizes the perspectives of experts for eight surgical small and large animal models of rotator cuff tear, flexor tendon transection, anterior cruciate ligament tear, and Achilles tendon injury using the framework: "Why, Who, What, Where, When, and How"
