This comparison does not assign a generated winner or score.

  • Tendon-to-bone
  • 21–28 days to functional load
  • 14–18 days to functional load
  • VEGF upregulation + collagen organisation
  • University of Zagreb, 2007
  • Strongest evidence base. Multiple replication studies confirm 60–70% acceleration
  • Full-thickness skin
  • 14–16 days to complete re-epithelialisation
  • 9–11 days to complete re-epithelialisation
  • Fibroblast migration + angiogenesis
  • University of Zagreb, 2003
  • Reproducible histological improvements, but translation to human scar outcomes unclear
  • Ligament (MCL)
  • 28–35 days to regain 70% tensile strength
  • 18–24 days to regain 70% tensile strength
  • Growth factor receptor upregulation
  • Croatian preclinical model, 2010
  • Promising but limited replication. Single research group dominates published work
  • Bone fracture
  • 42–56 days to radiographic union
  • 28–35 days to radiographic union
  • Enhanced osteoblast activity + vascular infiltration
  • University of Zagreb, 2009
  • Mechanism well-characterised, but human dosing extrapolation remains speculative
  • Muscle tear (gastrocnemius)
  • 10–14 days to restore 80% function
  • 6–9 days to restore 80% function
  • Reduced fibrosis + satellite cell activation
  • Rat model, 2011
  • Functional recovery faster than structural. Peptide may reduce compensatory scar tissue formation
