A study was undertaken to determine the response of tendon to trauma, and to establish the precise role of the intrinsic tendon cells vis-à-vis the paratendinous tissues in the healing process. It was found that tendon collagen has the ability to resist gross trauma and that tendons possess an inherent ability to regenerate and heal. The high rate of proliferation of synovial cells and the initial much lower rate of activity of intrinsic tendon cells have a direct bearing on the end result of the repair process. The principle of pre-stimulation of the tendon to improve the intrinsic vasculature and hence the rate and the quality of the healing process has been applied with promising, indeed striking, effect.
进行了一项研究，以确定肌腱对创伤的反应，并确定固有肌腱细胞相对于腱旁组织在愈合过程中的精确作用。研究发现，肌腱胶原蛋白有能力抵抗严重创伤，并且肌腱具有内在的再生和愈合能力。滑膜细胞的高增殖率和固有肌腱细胞最初低得多的活性率与修复过程的最终结果直接相关。预先刺激肌腱以改善其内在血管系统，从而提高愈合过程的速度和质量的原则已得到应用，效果令人鼓舞，甚至十分显著。
