“…Ultrastructural features similar to those observed in the present study have been briefly described for normal aponeurotic tissues during development and for normal tendons (Postacchini et al, 1978;Jozsa et al, 1979;Ippolito et al, 1980). Krogius (1921) described islets of muscle cells in the palmar aponeuroses of newborns as well as in the palmar fascia removed from Dupuytren's patients and suggested that Dupuytren's contracture could be due to the persistence of muscle cells in adult aponeuroses.…”

“…Sections from all five areas were analyzed by standard histochemical methods; frozen sections from different regions were processed together in batches for each enzyme activity. The intensity of respective staining methods was scored as background, light, moderate, or heavy in each of the areas (5, 17,19,20): (1) ATPase, (Kreb's cycle), Padykuda (27); (2) cytochrome oxidase, (Kreb's cycle), Burstone (7); (3) succinate dehydrogenase, (Kreb's cycle), Nachlas et al (25); and (4) lactate dehydrogenase, (anaerobic glycolysis) Hess et al (16). …”

To define the matrix composition and architecture of canine flexor tendon, and to correlate tissue structure with applied mechanical loading, five anatomical regions of flexor tendon were studied. Histologically, two prominent fibrocartilaginous areas were observed on concave aspects of the tendon. The location of the major fibrocartilaginous area at the metacarpophalangeal joint correlated well with the region predicted by biomechanical modeling to be under greatest compressive loads during standing and claw movement. Comparative biochemical analysis showed an elevated water content, a five-fold higher hexuronic acid content, and a larger hydroxylysine/hydroxyproline ratio in this region relative to that for more tendinous areas. The major glycosaminoglycan component of fibrocartilaginous areas was chondroitin sulfate, whereas in other areas dermatan sulfate and hyaluronic acid dominated. Cell density and DNA analyses indicated a slightly higher cellularity for fibrocartilaginous areas and the region of vinculum insertion. These data document the existence of discrete areas of specialization within the flexor tendon that appear to be an adaptation to nutritional and mechanical factors.

The replacement of upper eyelid tarsus with Achilles tendon as part of the Cutler-Beard procedure was successful in repairing large upper eyelid defects in four patients. The tendon graft is easily placed and incorporated in the normal eyelid anatomy. It is pliable and mobile yet stable. Repair is not limited by the size of the defect, as the tissue is readily available. The modification produced excellent functional and cosmetic results.
