The Effect of Local Injectet GH on the Collagen Synthesis in the Ligamentum Patella
The Effect of Local Injectet GH on the Collagen Synthesis in the Ligamentum Patella
Tendon and ligament injuries are a frequent problem among athletes but also in the general population. The healing process is a prolonged process, and complete recovery of tissue strength is nearly never reached. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of local injection of human Growth Hormone on tendon collagen synthesis.
