  • Title: An experimental study of autologous digital tendon transplants in the horse.
    Author: Strömberg B, Tufvesson G.
    Journal: Equine Vet J; 1977 Oct; 9(4):231-7. PubMed ID: 923558.
    Abstract:
    Four autologous tendon grafting techniques, bipedicle, pedicle and free grafts of the deep digital flexor tendon and free grafts from the lateral digital extensor tendon were described. The vascularization and remodelling of the transplant and the reactions in the donor, as well as the recipient tendon, were studied by means of microangiographic and histochemical methods. The results indicated that regardless of the technique used the grafts were revascularized and replaced by a highly orientated and organized tendon. The use of free grafts may therefore be worthwhile in treatment of severe tendon lesions in valuable racehorses.
