“…Therefore, we considered a healing time of 12 weeks sufficient for stabilisation. A more recent work found no difference in pull-out force between 6 and 12 weeks and considered joints to be stable at that point (Stodolak-Zych et al, 2022). In our study, we verified the hypothesis that the differences in pull-out force observed among specimens at 3 months reflect differences in the state of damage and that this can be related to the effect of wear.…”

“…The studies found that after the ACL was replaced with the PLA-based implant, the failure forces of the knee joints were lower than those of intact joints, including the strain-at-failure rate. Due to the selected method of attaching autograft ends to the tibia and femur bone surfaces, the biomechanical parameters of the knee joint were substantially improved [ 74 ].…”

With an increase in life expectancy and the popularity of high-intensity exercise, the frequency of tendon and ligament injuries has also increased. Owing to the specificity of its tissue, the rapid restoration of injured tendons and ligaments is challenging for treatment. This review summarises the latest progress in cells, biomaterials, active molecules, and construction technology in treating tendon/ligament injuries. The characteristics of supports made of different materials and the development and application of different manufacturing methods are discussed. The development of natural polymers, synthetic polymers, and composite materials has boosted the use of scaffolds. In addition, the development of electrospinning and hydrogel technology has diversified the production and treatment of materials. First, this paper briefly introduces the structure, function, and biological characteristics of tendons/ligaments. Then, it summarises the advantages and disadvantages of different materials, such as natural polymer scaffolds, synthetic polymer scaffolds, composite scaffolds, and ECM-derived biological scaffolds, in the application of tendon/ligament regeneration. We then discuss the latest applications of electrospun fiber scaffolds and hydrogels in regeneration engineering. Finally, we discuss the current problems and future directions in the development of biomaterials for restoring damaged tendons and ligaments.
