N2 - A pattern of restoration of the smooth gliding surface was noted in lacerated monkey flexor tendon segments maintained in a cell free tissue culture environment over a 9-week period. The epitenon fibroblasts proliferated and migrated into the laceration site, forming collagen fibers that bridged the defect. After the smooth tendon surface was restored, the epitenon cellular response diminished.
