Fig. 1

Histologic transmitted light image of CAE stained muscle tissues close to the fracture. a Muscle tissue preparation of the vastus lateralis muscle located close to the fracture of the Mono_Ex_fix is shown. b CAE staining of the muscle tissue of the Mono_N. c CAE staining of the muscle tissue of the Poly_Ex_fix. d CAE staining of the muscle tissue of the Poly_N. Cells marked with arrows are segment-nucleated and rod-shaped-nucleated neutrophils, which appear reddish due to the CAE staining (magnification 400 ×)
