Abstract: | Summary Healing of skin and muscular wounds of rabbits was studied under the effect of intramuscular cortisone administration. At the beginning of the regenerative process there were marked dystrophic changes in the muscle fibers. These regressive changes were soon replaced by progressive processes in the form of active multiplication, regeneration of muscle fibers, the appearance of myoblasts and muscular buds in the area of the floor and edges of the wounds. It is considered that cortisone therapy is justified in the treatment of muscular wounds.Arkhangel'sk Medical Institute (Director, Docent A. A. Kirov(Presented by Active Member AMN SSSR V. V.
