Scanning electron microscopy of repaired tendon and pseudosheath

Abstract
(1) Repairing surface structure of transected digital flexor tendons of hens were studied by scanning electron microscopy. One week after a simple suture, fibrous materials probably of fibrin and exudated blood cells were attached on the surface. After two weeks, lining cells enmeshed with fine fibrils covered most of the surface. After three weeks, cellular protrusions of spindle shape spread over the repaired tendon.
