[Experimental repair of tendons with cutis grafts. Light and polarization microscopic study (author's transl)]

Autologous and homologous cutis grafts have been used for the repair of experimental defect of the tendon of the m. ext. carpi ulnaris in adult dogs. Newly formed tendon tissue was found on the frame of the cutis graft about 8 weeks after the implantation. The structure of the newly formed tendon was investigated by light and polarization microscopy up to 8 weeks postoperatively.
