Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Tendon adhesion following sports injury is a big problem puzzling athletes for a long time, which affects training and sport technique. Its prevention has been a medical issue of common concern.
OBJECTIVE: To review the effect of biological materials on preventing postsurgical adhesion and promoting tendon healing following sports injury.
METHODS: Using “biological material, tendon injury, prevent antistickm repair” in Chinese and English as the key words, a computer search was performed for articles published between January 1980 and December 2010. Articles related to the biological materials and tissue engineering femoral defects were included; repeated study or Meta analysis articles were excluded.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Tendon healing following injury includes two forms, endogenous healing and exogenous healing. The ideal way to prevent tendon adhesion is to improve the nutritional state and the surrounding environment of the tendon so as to promote endogenous healing and restrain/ease exogenous healing. This paper explores the action mechanism and characteristics of several biomaterials in order to better play the role of biomaterials in prevention of tendon adhesion.
