Abstract

This is the first research done to explore the morphologic changes in two stage tendon grafting as compared to one stage tendon grafting. AIMS: To compare morphology of grafted tendons with and with out first stage silicon rubber rod implantation. STUDY DESIGN: Comparative experimental study. PERIOD: 1994-2007. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 30 patients were included in this study. They was divided into 3 groups. Group 1 underwent 2 stage tendon grafting group 3 was used as control morphological study of tendons. RESULTS: Group 1 (1-stage) tendon grafting showed degeneration and fibrous reaction as morphological changes. Group 2. (2 Stage) appeared as normal tendons morphologically. CONCLUSION: This study concludes that instead of direct tendon grafting, two stage tendon grafting is recommended.
