Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: To explore the tissue engineering characteristics of nano-materials, and to evaluate the repair effect of exercise ligament injury.
METHODS: Using “ligament injury; nano-materials; repair; tissue engineering; biomechanics” as the Chinese key words; “cruciate ligament; nanomaterials; tissue engineering; application; ligament reconstruction” as the English key words, a computer search was performed on China Academic Journal database and PubMed database from January 1993 to April 2010. Articles of nano-materials to repair exercise ligament injury were included; repeated study or Meta analysis articles were excluded.
RESULTS: A total of 13 relevant literatures were included. The nano-materials commonly used in clinics are inorganic nano-materials, polymer organic materials, nano-composite materials and biomimetic nano-materials. Tissue engineering characteristics of various types of nano-materials are as follows: ① nanometer-scale size; ② numerous interfaces or free surfaces. ③ strong or weak interactions between the nano-units. From the clinical application point of view, nano-materials can be used to repair ligament injury.
CONCLUSION: The nano-materials perform well in the repair treatment of exercise ligament injury, and it is one of the most potential biological materials.
