This study assesses the impact of propolis injection on healing in a tendon injury model.
Conducted an experimental study with a post-test-only control group design.
Used 27 male Wistar rats divided into three treatment groups for comparison.
Performed partial Achilles tenotomy prior to treatment and assessed macroscopic and histological parameters.
Significant improvements in tendon healing and adhesion status observed between groups.
Histological analysis showed enhanced fiber structure, nuclear rounding, angiogenesis, and cell density.
No significant changes in fiber arrangement or inflammation noted.
