Tendon never restores the complete biological and mechanical properties after healing. Several techniques are available for tissue-engineered biological augmentation for tendon healing like stem cells. Recently, synovium has been investigated as a source of cells for tissue engineering. In the present study, we investigated potentials of fibroblast like synoviocytes (FLSs) in tendon healing. Si...

Tendon never restores the complete biological and mechanical properties after healing. Bone marrow and recently adipose tissue have been used as the sources of mesenchymal stem cells, which have been proven to enhance tendon healing. Stromal vascular fraction (SVF), derived from adipose tissue by an enzymatic digestion, represents an alternative source of multipotent cells, which undergo differ...

Current surgical treatments and material applications are not ideal for the treatment of orthopedic clinical injuries, such as large bone defects, cartilage vascular tendon adhesions that occur after repair. With continuous development tissue engineering technology, hydrogels have become important medical biomaterials. Hydrogels three-dimensional hydrophilic network structures composed cross-li...

Background: Lateral epicondylitis (LE) most commonly affects the Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis (ECRB) tendon andpatients are generally treated with injection therapy. For optimal positioning of the injection, as well as an estimation ofthe surface area and content of the ECRB tendon to determine the volume of the injectable needed, it is important toknow the exact location of...

results in 41 of 186 (22%) hands, the palmaris longus tendon was absent and absence of the fifth flexor digitorum tendon was noted in eight (4.30 %). the median surface area in the hands without palmaris longus was meaningfully lower than the hands with it (p = 0.025), while the difference in the median surface area was not statistically significant with regard to presence of the fifth flexor d...

Tendon rupture in dogs is generally the result of a direct trauma. This report described the use of adjacent muscle autogenic fascial graft for reconstruction of distal rupture of long digital extensor tendon in a dog. A two-year-old male mix breed dog, was presented with a non-weight bearing lameness of the right hind limb and a deep rupture of lateral side of right tarsus. History taking reve...

background clinical tendon injuries represent serious and unresolved issues of the case on how the injured tendons could be improved based on natural structure and mechanical strength. the aim of this studies the effect of aquatic activities and alogenic platelet rich plasma (prp) injection in healing achilles tendons of rats. methods forty rats were randomly divided into 5 equal groups. sevent...

conclusions roll stitch technique had superior outcome compared to the modified kessler technique, when performed in the mcpj area. level of evidence: therapeutic (level iii) background proper suturing technique is needed to ensure good outcome in extensor tendon surgery. different techniques have been reported for the repair of extensor tendon injuries at the level of the metacarpophalangeal j...

tendon transfers in hand patients are a commonly performed procedure after extensor tendon rupture. however, the standard side to side technique is not applicable in every patient. we present a case of a musician with unique demands to demonstrate the option to customize surgical technique and therapy regimen to the unique needs of each patient. an extensor indicis proprius to extensor digitoru...

Soft tissue injuries are common conditions afflicting sporting, performance and active dogs due to the repetitive forces placed on tendons and ligaments during activities. It is reported that tendon and ligament injuries account for nearly 45% of all musculoskeletal injuries in humans yearly in the U.S. Tendons and ligaments are susceptible to major stress during sports, and if injured through ...
