The histological and morphological characteristics of the scar tissue formed during healing after traumatic equine tendon injury have been compared with those of scar tissue produced in response to an enzyme-induced pony tendon injury. Several techniques are currently in use in the treatment of equine tendon sprain and this work formed part of a study of their respective efficacy. It was concluded that the enzyme-induced lesion is resolved by a reparative process very similar in its prognosis and extent to that following a naturally occurring tendon sprain. It may therefore justifiably be used as a model of naturally occurring tendon sprain in the comparative study of treatment methods.
马外伤性肌腱损伤愈合过程中形成的瘢痕组织的组织学和形态学特征，已与酶诱导的小马肌腱损伤所产生的瘢痕组织的特征进行了比较。目前有几种技术用于治疗马肌腱扭伤，这项工作是对其各自疗效研究的一部分。得出的结论是，酶诱导的损伤通过一种修复过程得以解决，该修复过程在预后和程度上与自然发生的肌腱扭伤非常相似。因此，在治疗方法的比较研究中，它可以合理地用作自然发生的肌腱扭伤的模型。
