Flexor tendon from the synovial sheath region of rabbits was resected and placed as a free body in a synovial knee joint recess. Structural changes of the surface of the graft caused by the instruments used to handle the tendon during the surgery (jewellers microforceps), was analysed by electron microscopy at various time intervals up to 6 weeks. The superficial coat of amorphous material, i.e. ground substance, on the surface of the tendon was dishevelled by the instruments. The injured areas were crowded with monocytes and macrophages during the first days. An increasing number of fibroblasts and mesothelial-like cells covered the damaged area in less than two weeks. The superficial coat of ground substance was not completely restored until after 3 weeks or more. The results obtained are discussed in relation to functional aspects.
切除兔滑膜鞘区域的屈肌腱，并将其作为游离体置于膝关节滑膜隐窝中。通过电子显微镜在长达6周的不同时间间隔分析手术过程中用于处理肌腱的器械（珠宝商用微型镊子）对移植物表面造成的结构变化。肌腱表面的无定形物质表层，即基质，被器械弄乱。在最初几天，损伤区域聚集了单核细胞和巨噬细胞。在不到两周的时间里，越来越多的成纤维细胞和间皮样细胞覆盖了受损区域。基质的表层直到3周或更长时间后才完全恢复。结合功能方面对所得结果进行了讨论。
