The Effect of Amniotic Membrane Transplantation on Tendon-Healing in a Rabbit Achilles Tendon Model
Extracellular matrix scaffolds have been examined for the repair of tendon rupture and biological materials have been reported to be promising in terms of promoting fast and natural healing by host cells with concurrent resorption of the materials. The present study investigated the healing effect of amniotic membrane, as a biological extracellular matrix scaffold, on the ruptured Achilles tend...
متن کاملEffect of Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor on Achilles Tendon Healing in Rabbit
BACKGROUND Tendon injuries are common and it takes a long time for an injured tendon to heal. Adverse phenomena such as adhesion and rupture are associated with these injuries. Finding a method to reduce the time required for healing whichimproves the final outcome, will lead to decreased frequency and intensity of adverse consequences. This study was designed to investigate the effects ...
متن کاملSide-to-side differences in Achilles tendon geometry and mechanical properties following achilles tendon rupture.
Background Recovery of tendon structure has been suggested to play a role in clinical success following Achilles tendon rupture. The purpose of this study was to identify side-to-side differences in tendon geometry and mechanical properties following Achilles tendon rupture and investigate the relationship of tendon structure with clinical outcomes. Methods Participants within 1 year post com...
متن کاملRat Achilles tendon healing: mechanical loading and gene expression.
Injured tendons require mechanical tension for optimal healing, but it is unclear which genes are upregulated and responsible for this effect. We unloaded one Achilles tendon in rats by Botox injections in the calf muscles. The tendon was then transected and left to heal. We studied mechanical properties of the tendon calluses, as well as mRNA expression, and compared them with loaded controls....
متن کاملRabbit Achilles tendon full transection model – wound healing, adhesion formation and biomechanics at 3, 6 and 12 weeks post-surgery
After tendon rupture repair, two main problems may occur: re-rupture and adhesion formation. Suitable non-murine animal models are needed to study the healing tendon in terms of biomechanical properties and extent of adhesion formation. In this study 24 New Zealand White rabbits received a full transection of the Achilles tendon 2 cm above the calcaneus, sutured with a 4-strand Becker suture. P...
