Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Tendon transplantation is a major means for reconstructing injured tendon. Currently, autoallergic tendon, allogeneic tendon, xenogeneic allogeneic tendon, artificial tendon, tissue-engineered tendon are widely used with each characteristics.
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the treatment progress of currently used tendon transplantations for tendon defects, and to provide theoretical basis for tissue-engineered tendon.
METHODS: Databases of PubMed, Wangfang and VIP were searched by the first author using key words of tendon tissue engineering, tendon allograft, transplantation” both in Chinese and English. Inclusive criteria: ①Development history of repair of tendon injury. ②Autoallergic tendon or allogeneic tendon transplantation for tendon injury. ③Animal experiment and clinical application. A total of 30 documents were included in this paper.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: With the development of tissue engineering, tissue-engineered tendon, which constructed by utilizing cell biology, molecular biology and biological materials, has aroused increasing attention. However, further animal experiment and clinical researches are required to study the rejection, adhesion and prognosis following allogeneic tendon transplantation.
