Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The advancement and development of suture technique provide a guarantee for treatment of tendon and ligament tissue tear or fracture, the use of absorbable suture materials can avoid the treatment risk by using non-absorbable suture material to a greater extent, and are generally well received by doctors and patients.
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the material can be absorbable suture material characteristics, to explore ligament injury rehabilitation in the clinical value of the project.
METHODS: PubMed database and Wanfang database from 1990 to 2010 were searched by the first author for articles related to soft tissue suture treatment, materials science characteristics, biocompatibility and its application effect.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Absorbable suture can degrade in vivo into soluble products, thus reducing the suffering of patients during secondary surgery and minimize the scar formation at suture site in patients, it is more and more popular in both doctors and patients, at present different materials of absorbable suture emerge, thus meeting the needs to a certain extent.
