This study showed significant improvements in patient-assessed mobility, softness, and appearance. Collagen and elastic fibrin were present in all specimens, nerve fiber regeneration was limited to the mid- or lower reticular dermis, and adnexal structures were absent. The typical wrinkled appearance of mature Integra reconstruction cannot be said to be entirely due to a lack of elastic fibers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
