The healing of flexor tendons in chickens
International Orthopaedics, 1992The healing of flexor tendons was studied in chickens using transmission electron microscopy. After resecting the flexor sheath between the proximal and distal pulleys in zone II, the profundus tendon was severed and sutured. Intermittent passive motion was carried out 35 times daily immediately afterwards.

Tendon Healing: Repair and Regeneration
Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering, 2012Injury and degeneration of tendon, the soft tissue that mechanically links muscle and bone, can cause substantial pain and loss of function. This review discusses the composition and function of healthy tendon and describes the structural, biological, and mechanical changes initiated during the process of tendon healing.

Augmentation of Tendon-to-Bone Healing
Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, 2014Tendon-to-bone healing is vital to the ultimate success of the various surgical procedures performed to repair injured tendons. Achieving tendon-to-bone healing that is functionally and biologically similar to native anatomy can be challenging because of the limited regeneration capacity of the tendon-bone interface.

Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, 2005
Tendon connects muscle to bone and functions to transmit muscular forces across joints to stabilize or move those joints. Tendons in the foot and ankle are subject to enormous loads and consequently make up a substantial portion of the body's tendon injuries. Understanding the mechanisms of these injuries requires an understanding of the relative rates

TENDON INJURY AND TENDINOPATHY [PDF]
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery-American Volume, 2005 Tendon disorders are frequent and are responsible for substantial morbidity both in sports and in the workplace. Tendinopathy, as opposed to tendinitis or tendinosis, is the best generic descriptive term for the clinical conditions in and around tendons arising from overuse. Tendinopathy is a difficult problem requiring lengthy management, and patients

Biomechanics of tendon healing
Journal of Biomechanics, 1982The biomechanics of tendon healing was investigated with unsutured rat achilles tendons. After two, three, and four weeks of healing tensile parameters were assayed with a bone-muscle-tendon-bone preparation elongated to failure at a controlled physiological strain rate.

The Application of Force to the Healing Tendon
Journal of Hand Therapy, 1993This paper redefines the term "active motion" in postoperative tendon management programs as "minimal active muscle-tendon tension" (MAMTT), and reports a study of internal forces applied to a repaired tendon with MAMTT, with specific guidelines for joint angle and external load application, that allows a repeatable and reliable technique for the ...

A fine balance in tendon healing
Nature Cell Biology, 2019Tendons have limited regenerative potential, and injuries often cause scarring. A study now identifies a tendon stem cell population that contributes to regeneration and a tendon fibro–adipogenic progenitor population involved in fibrosis.

Recent Progress in Flexor Tendon Healing
Journal of Hand Therapy, 2002Although advances in the treatment of flexor tendon injuries have led to improved clinical outcomes during the past several decades, a subset of patients continue to experience a loss of function. Using a canine model of sharp transection of the flexor digitorum profundus tendon followed by repair and rehabilitation using clinically relevant techniques,

Tendon, tendon healing, hyperlipidemia and statins.
Muscles, ligaments and tendons journal, 2013Both hyperlipidemia and metabolic syndrome have adverse effect on tendon structure. Atorvastatin is most widely used antihyperlipidemic drug. Statins have adverse effects on the tendon. Many studies have analyzed the relationship between atorvastatin and skeletal muscles.
