Introduction: Most surgical procedures for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) involve the healing of tendon grafts in a surgically created bone tunnel; however, the attachment between the tendon and the bone is the weakest part of the reconstruction in the early post-transplantation period. Secure fixation of the tendon graft to the bone is thus a significant factor in allowing ea...

BACKGROUND Tendon injuries are one of the most common injuries of the hand and challenging problems in trauma surgery. They usually require surgical repair and unlike the single tendon injuries, flexor tendon injuries have higher morbidities when accompanied with nerve injuries. In the present study, I aimed to report the clinical experiences and outcomes about tendon injuries. METHODS ...

Abaamet The wound healing process of New Zealand rabbit extensor digitorum communis tendon was studied from the fifth through th&ecnth post-surgical day by concurrent observation of physical, mechanical, and biochemical properties. Me&an&l testing was by isometric thcrmic denaturation followed by biochemical assay of tendon and the physiological saline bathing medium for collagen protein and ac...

Active Achilles tendon kinesitherapy facilitates the functional recovery of a ruptured Achilles tendon. However, protein expression during the healing process remains a controversial issue. New Zealand rabbits, aged 14 weeks, underwent tenotomy followed immediately by Achilles tendon microsurgery to repair the Achilles tendon rupture. The tendon was then immobilized or subjected to postoperativ...

PURPOSE Delayed healing is a common problem whenever tendon allografts are used for tendon or ligament reconstruction. Repopulating the allograft with host cells may accelerate tendon regeneration, but cell penetration into the allograft tendon is limited. Processing the tendon surface with slits that guide cells into the allograft substrate may improve healing. The purpose of this study was to...

tendons are frequently targets of injury in sports and work. whether nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids) have beneficial effects on tendon healing is still a matter of debate. this study was conducted to evaluate effects of flunixin meglumine (fm) on tendon healing after experimentally induced acute trauma. twenty eight adult male new zealand white rabbits were subjected to complete t...

Early tendon healing can be stimulated by mechanical loading and inhibited by cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitors (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). Therefore, we investigated if impairment of tendon healing by a COX-2 inhibitor (parecoxib) is related to loading. Because loading might infer microdamage, which also stimulates healing, we also investigated if this effect is inhibited by parecoxi...

background the platelet-rich plasma (prp) and hyaluronic acid (ha) constitute a system of tissue growth that can regenerate damaged tissue. this study was performed to evaluate the effect of prp and ha in treatment of complications of achilles tendon reconstruction. methods we selected ten patients affected by achilles tendon injuries resulting from post-surgical complications subsequent to ten...

Objective- Tendon healing, in terms of histologic and functional characteristics, is always inferior to its normal level due to the poor vascularity and low metabolic rate. Curcumin possesses anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and healing effects. This study aimed to investigate effects of curcumin on Achilles tendon experimental injury using histopathology, biomechanical and functional evaluation...
