[The membrane allotransplantate use in surgery for hygroma].

Reparative processes in calcaneal tendon after the use of new repair technique were studied in two animal series. In both groups the calcaneal tendon was incised to the half of its width. In control group no further manipulations were performed and in the experimental group the defect was covered with allotransplantate of dura mater (membrane stop). The control group demonstrated less active tendon reaction, whereas the experimental group demonstrated stimulation of reparation with the rapid change of inflammatory stages. The membrane stop serves as a modeling frame for new fibers of the regenerate. The obtained results permit recommending the membrane stop in treatment of hand hygromas for the cover of weak tendon areas.
