Tendon aging is associated with an increasing prevalence of tendon injuries and/or chronic
tendon diseases, such as tendinopathy, which affects approximately 25% of the adult …

Early stage oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and infection after tendon surgery are
highly associated with the subsequent peritendinous adhesion formation, which may …

The inferior tendon healing after surgery is inextricably linked to the surgical suture. Poor
load transfer along the suture often results in a high tendon re-tear rate. Besides, the severe …

Conclusion: A free ALT composite flap with the vascularized fascia lata, was successfully
used for the treatment of infected Achilles tendinitis with overlying soft tissue defect even in …

Background Treatment for large defects in the non‐weight‐bearing Achilles tendon and soft
tissues remains a reconstructive challenge. The free composite anterolateral thigh flap (ALT) …

To address the high complexity and challenging nature of large-scale tendon injury repair,
an innovative Janus structured hydrogel patch (JAHP@ bFGF) was designed in this study …

Background: An infected Achilles tendon after tendon repair is particularly difficult to treat
because of the poor vascularity of the tendon as well as the thin surrounding soft tissue. For …
