The growth of transplanted tendons was investigated in 54 young chickens. The transplantations were done within the first week of life. The flexor digitorum profundus tendon in the digital sheath of the right third digit was replaced by a graft taken from the same tendon of the left third digit. The growth of the grafted tendons was measured and compared with control tendons at the first, fifth, tenth, fifteenth, and twentieth week after the operation. Five weeks after operation the grafted tendons showed the same growth rate as the control tendons. Although tendon growth was retarded compared with the control tendons 15 weeks after operation, it was not statistically different at 20 weeks.
对54只幼鸡的移植肌腱生长情况进行了研究。移植手术在出生后的第一周内进行。右第三指腱鞘内的指深屈肌腱被取自左第三指同一肌腱的移植物所替代。在术后第一周、第五周、第十周、第十五周和第二十周测量移植肌腱的生长情况，并与对照肌腱进行比较。术后五周，移植肌腱的生长速度与对照肌腱相同。尽管术后15周时，移植肌腱的生长与对照肌腱相比有所延迟，但在20周时并无统计学差异。
