[Histological features of interdigital muscles in lengthening of underdeveloped fingers in children].

Abstract

There has been carried out histologic examination of vermicular and interosseal muscles in case of underdevelopment of fingers before and after the restoration of their length by method of distraction in 45 children aged 4-14 years. There has been stated that in case of congenital finger underdevelopment the hand muscles are subjected to hypoplasia. However they are endowed with high ability of regeneration and restore their structure in response to distraction after adequate regenerative changes.
