The i.m. motor innervation in 19 muscle biopsy specimens from boys with Duchenne''s muscular dystrophy and the fiber-type pattern was analyzed in 9 biopsy specimens. The main change in motor innervation was a longitudinal displacement of motor endplates that reached 10 mm and the presence of numerous unemployed axons ending freely within connective tissue. There was no increased collateral ramification of subterminal axons and the terminal innervation ratio was normal. The fiber-type pattern was characterized by a random variation of fiber diameters, a slight predominance of type I fibers, and an impaired type differentiation in many fibers. The morphological data did not support the possibility of denervation and collateral reinnervation that was related to the late component potentials found in Duchenne''s muscular dystrophy.
