CONT

La rétraction est due, le plus souvent, à la formation du tissu fibreux, d'origine inflammatoire ou cicatricielle. Cette substitution finit par changer la constitution des organes, et modifier ou abolir leurs fonctions. C'est à ces lésions que sont dues, par exemple, les rétractions musculaires et tendineuses du rhumatisme.
