Description Efficacy of ultrasound (US) therapy in modulation of peritendinolls adhesions following tendon injury in a rabbit model in-vivo was evaluated in adult New Zealand White rabbits (16) of either sex, which were randomly divided into 2 groups of 8 animals each (groups 1 and 2). A lateral curvilinear skin incision was given just above the left hock joint over the tendoachillis under thiopental sodium anaesthesia and after exposing the tendon a unifonn area of 2 cm was crushed with toothed forceps for creation of peritendinous adhesions. The surgical wound was closed in a routine manner. In group 1 (test group) ultrasonic therapy (US) was started after 3 days of tendon surgery and was given @ 0.5 W/cm2 for 5 min, daily for 10 days. In group 2 (control) no treatment was given. Clinical examination revealed no significant difference in rectal temperature, exudation. Warmth and pain scores at different time intervals. On day 14 onwards there was a significant increase (P
