1. Fig. 7. Masson-trichrome staining demonstrates better collagen fiber continuity and arrangement at tendon-to-bone attachment sites in the bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC)-treated groups: (A) repair + saline (RS) group, (B) repair + platelet-rich plasma (RP) group, (C) repair + BMAC (RB) group, and (D) repair + platelet-rich plasma + BMAC (RPB) group. The arrows indicate the improved collagen fiber continuity and arrangement of the RB and RPB groups compared to the control and RS groups. Collagen fibers run parallel along the tendon-to-bone attachment sites (in this figure, they run diagonally). However, there are few collagen fibers in the control and RS groups.
