| Popis: | The aim of this study was to assess the changes which occurred in the rat in target muscles after the injury and repair of a specific peripheral nerve, using several clinically-appropriate surgical techniques. There were alterations in the size, shape, morphology and cytochemical architecture of the fibres of the target muscles. These changes were marked when transection and repair of the nerve was compared with the less-severe crush injury. The method of repair did not correlate significantly with the occurrence of changes in muscle cytoarchitecture. The results suggest that the extent of cell loss and the changes in muscle fibre architecture were influenced by the type of injury, rather than by the method of repair. |
