Normal morphology of the external surface of the LCL epiligament tissue. a) epiligament in controls with two types of layers (with star was marked the type, presented with fibroblasts, fibrocytes, surrounded by collagen fibers and rarely found blood vessels; the other type was between the marked parts of the previous composed of fibroblasts, fibrocytes, adiposities (A), mast cells, collagen fibers, nerves and vessels (small arrow head). The EL prolonged into endoligament (large arrow head) (light microscopy). Bar 100 μm; b) electron micrograph of fibroblast in the intercellular matrix with large nucleus, collagen fibers, rough endoplasmic reticulum (arrows) and single lysosome (arrow head) × 9000.
