A model to measure the characterizing parameters of the deep fascia

The aim of this work is to create a computerized tridimensional model of the deep fascia, as useful and flexible tool suitable for any histological section's analysis. It allows determinations, also quantitative, of the elements that formed the evaluated tissue, their spatial dispositions and relationships. Every manipulation and elaboration do not necessarily ask an irreversible alteration of the original tissue, as happen with the biological specimens. The present study considers a crural fascia specimen, taken from the posterior region of the knee.
