Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Immune rejection of allogeneic transplantation is the most important issue for the successful transplantation.
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the immunological characteristics of allogeneic tendon and achilles tendon transplantation for the treatment of achilles tendon defects and cruciate ligament, respectively.
METHODS: A computer-based research was conducted on the PubMed database and Wanfang database for the articles on allogeneic ahilles tendon transplantation or achilles tendon reconstruction published from January 1990 to January 2012. The key words were “allograft, tendon, immunity, transplantation” in Chinese and English. A total of 83 articles were obtained.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The immune rejection of allogeneic tendon transplantation increased the risk of failure; however, the present studies have showed that deep-frozen processed allogeneic tendon is an ideal alternative material for the repair of human tendon defects. It has the advantages of no normal tissue structure sacrifice and free from the individual constraints. It could ensure the success of the tendon transplantation and provide a reliable guarantee for the repair of achilles tendon re-rupture defects with the advantages of simple operation, small incision, less damage and reliable effects.
