The Research Progress of Preventing Tendon Adhesion and Accelerating Tendon Healing

With the in-depth understanding and the development of the tendon healing research, more and more methods were applied to prevent tendon adhesion and accelerate tendon healing. Tendon adhesion was prevented by methods like the restoration of tendon sheath or using substitutions, improving suturing techniques, adding drugs or membrane. Tendon healing was accelerated by methods like reconstruction peri-tendon tissues, drugs, growth factors, and gene intervention. This article will review the research of preventing tendon adhesion and accelerating tendon healing for recent years.
