High Intensity Laser Therapy during chronic degenerative tenosynovitis experimentally induced in chicken broiler

摘要

The aims of this study was the safety and the efficacy of High Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) on chronic degenerative tenosynovitis. We have effectuated the histological evaluation and seroassay (C reactive protein) on 18 chickens affected by chronic degenerative tenosynovitis experimentally induced. We have been employed a Nd:YAG laser pulsed wave; all irradiated subjects received the same total energy (270 Joule) with a fluence of 7,7 J/cm~2 and intensity of 10,7 W/cm~2. The histological findings revealed a distinct reduction of the mineralization of the "choral" matrix, the anti-inflammatory effect of the laser, the hyperplasia of the synoviocytes and ectasia of the lymphatic vessels.
