Reconstruction of the Flexor Tendon Sheath

Abstract: The role of the tendon sheath in flexor tendon healing was investigated in rabbits. Tendon sheath was reconstructed with syngeneic parietal peritoneum or a non-tanned processed porcine collagen membrane. Resection of the tendon sheath led to adhesions. Reconstruction of the sheath with either graft resulted in a synovial-like lining, resembling a neo-tendon sheath. Even when combined with tendon repair a neo-tendon sheath was seen after reconstruction with both grafts, without adhesions. Subcutaneously implant… Show more

“…For example, surgical sutures, tendon sheath damage, and postoperative immobilization all contribute to adhesion formation [5]. Although efforts have been made to find ways to prevent and lessen tendon adhesion, such as a better suture technique for the tendon sheath, the enhancement of local blood supply, and the local application of chondroitin sulfate, collagen protein and detran-70, the benefits have not been entirely satisfactory [6,7]. SY was extracted from the flower of safflower plant, Carthamus tinctorius L. (Compositae), which had been extensively used in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases.…”

“…First of all, the CX‐CAM film constitutes of collagens and GAG, which act as a dense barrier against cell recruitment during the inflammatory phase, largely responsible for adhesions. Similar barrier effects have been observed in collagen based barriers . Second, decellularized cartilage ECM may have further deterred adhesion and angiogenesis from peritendinous areas via inherent antiangiogenic and antiadhesive molecules .…”

“…Collagen has been largely used in the production of biomaterials and as vehicle for its biocompatibility and minimum immunological response 12 . The use of this abundant source associated with the proper processing of these tissues may represent a significant source of new materials, which may be used in tissue engineering or in regeneration techniques 2,[7][8][9] .…”
