  • Title: [Ultrastructure of reparation collagen and its relations to residual hyaline joint cartilage in inflammatory cartilage destruction].
    Author: Mohr W, Doms E, Wessinghage D.
    Journal: Z Rheumatol; 1989; 48(1):30-8. PubMed ID: 2711779.
    Abstract:
    The development of collagenous fibrils in reparative tissues replacing hyaline cartilage in arthritic joints was investigated by electron microscopy: granulation tissue consists of a loose network of collagenous fibrils, scar tissue is characterized by dense bundles of parallel arranged collagenous fibrils, chondroid tissue that may develop under certain instances is characterized by a network of random orientated fibrils that differ from those of the normal hyaline cartilage by their uniformity. The fibrils of the reparative tissues often exhibited an intense contact with those of the original hyaline cartilage.
