Peritendinous Healing after Early- Movement of Repaired Flexor Tendon: Anatomical Study

In 64 chickens the deep flexor tendon of the third toe was divided and resutured, preserving the sheath and flexor sublimis tendon. The leg was placed in a cast for 35 days postoperatively; in some birds minimal flexion of the toes was induced by electrical stimulation of the deep flexor muscle in t
