I'm not sure they measure things that much? Isn't it cut from this thing to that thing and the length isn't important. Then if two cut bits are going together then it's fairly malleable stuff, plus it organically repairs. At least that's my guess, in case a surgeon isn't able to reply.
Yeah honestly I don't know enough about surgery to even speculate. What I know is seeing shit on tv where they're like "nurse, scalpel" n shit and that's where my understanding begins and ends haha
