[Clinical and experimental studies on the transplantation of preserved tendons].
The tensile strength of preserved tendons was studied in relation with duration and preserving process. Cialite preserved cow-tendons were implanted in rear limbs of rabbit. After 5, 7 and 9 months the transplants could still be identified. They were covered by unreactive fibrous connective tissue, where by adjustant to the connective tissue the transplant was replaced by multicellular growing tissue. In clinical practice preserved tendons were successfully used for ligament-plastic. It is reported on the possibility of use and the results.
