[Allogeneic implantation of the tendon tissue sterilized with gaseous ethylene oxide in experiment]

The implantation of the allo-tendon tissue sterilized with gaseous ethylene oxide was carried out in 51 while rats. Results of histological investigations are described and a comparative estimation is given of durability of the properties of ethyleneoxide sterilized allotendons of the human with the anterior cruciate ligament and dermal tissue. A conclusion is made that it is possible to use the tendon allotransplants in clinical practice.
