title: [Bradytrophic tissue. Its histopathological diagnosis and value in trauma surgical and orthopedic expert opinions].
abstract: Expert opinions on the musculoskeletal system are generally required for statutory or private accident insurance purposes in a variety of legal areas and with varying rules of evidence. Since they are also intended for non-medical personnel, terminology needs to be defined and must be comprehensible by all parties. Bradytrophic tissue is the most frequently evaluated aspect of the musculoskeletal system. In this context, the term"degeneration" which was formerly used has been replaced by the term"tissue structure alteration", which takes matrix changes and cellularity into consideration. Thus the significance of histopathological diagnosis of bradytrophic tissue has been put in a new light. Histopathological diagnosis is carried out on the basis of various staining methods, scores and analyses depending on the diagnostic question.
