Research Abstract |
Histopathlogical changes of periphery of the sciatic nerve and the intermuscular adipose tissue during contracture in rat knee joint were disclosed. adherence between the bundles of nerve fibers and the perineurium, thickening of the perineurium, difference in size and atrophy of adipose cells, and replacement of amorphous material were observed. These changes were thought to cause the soft tissue contracture.
