[Preservation of tendon tissue in hordecin solution]

Rabbit tendinous homografts were preserved in 1% solution of an antibiotichordecin (in vaseline oil) during 30 and 60 days, after that these were used to replace a tendon defect of m. gastrocnemius in rabbits. Morphological observations in dynamics have shown that to the 9th month the homograft would be substituted by a tendon regenerate that carries the entire functional stress on the operated limb.
