Prevention of Peritendinous Adhesions Using an Electrospun DegraPol Polymer Tube: A Histological, Ultrasonographic, and Biomechanical Study in Rabbits

Figure 3

Picrosirius red stained 5 μm histological sections of the three groups considered at 8x magnification. Key: 4-strand + DP = 4-strand Becker suture and application of DegraPol tube; 4-strand = 4-strand Becker suture; no treatment = control group without any intervention; DP = DegraPol, AT = Achilles tendon; FDS = Flexor digitorum superficialis. The black lines in the lower figures denote the whole circumference, while the green lines depict the adhesion formation.
