EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES ON THE MODE OF THE HEALING OF TENDON IN VARYING REGIONS OF PARALYSTS (3)

Abstract

Difference produced in the healing processes of tendon depending on the region of paralysis is mostly due to the primary effect of the disturbance of autonomic nerve system, especially, parasay mpathetic nervec control. Then, secondary effects, such as the lowering of muscular tension, nutritional disturbance of tissues, reduction in the amount of circulating blood, loss of sensation, cease of motility etc. by the dissociation of sympathetic nerve and pyramidal fascicle, produce difference in the processes of healing. By secondary effects alone, however, the inpairme-nt of healiing processes is not so much pronounced. Weakening and retardation of healing proces-ses appear when thesee secondary effects are combined with the primary effect.
