✦ Synopsis

The healing of flexor tendons was studied in chickens using transmission electron microscopy. After resecting the flexor sheath between the proximal and distal pulleys in zone II, the profundus tendon was severed and sutured. Intermittent passive motion was carried out 35 times daily immediately afterwards. The chickens were sacrificed at 3, 6 and 9 weeks. In vivo healing was shown to be much more rapid than in in vitro studies. There was marked proliferation of endoplasmic reticulum and phagocytosis at 3 weeks, collagen synthesis at 6 weeks and remodelling at 9 weeks. Healing was by a combination of extrinsic and intrinsic mechanisms.

To examine tendon growth in both the distal and proximal portions of severed tendons, we investigated the growth of severed flexor tendons within the fibro-osseous tunnel in young chickens. When the tendon was severed at the proximal site in the sole, dynamic tension applied by the muscle was lost.

## Abstract The role of transforming growth factor β (TGF‐β) in tendon healing is still not clearly established. TGF‐β affects gene expression primarily through the activation of the Smad signaling pathway. The first step in the Smad pathway is the expression of TGF‐β inducible early gene (TIEG). R
