Abstract:

BACKGROUND: High-tech biological materials can well prevent the adhesion between tendon and tendon sheath.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of different biological materials on preventing the adhesion between tendon and tendon sheath after the repair of sports injuries, and to search for suitable biological materials.
METHODS: The keywords of “biological material, sports, tendon injury, antistick” were used in Chinese and English, respectively. A computer search of China Academic Journal Full-text database and PubMed database from January 1990 to March 2011 was performed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The new-type biological materials such as chitosan, mechanisms of chitosan, chitosan/ poly lactic-co-glycolic acid film and sodium hyaluronate can prevent tendon adhesion induced by sports injuries effectively. However, all kinds of materials have their advantages and disadvantages, and therefore, the development direction in the future is to prevent tendon adhesion after sports injuries by reasonable use of various drugs or high-tech biological materials.
