ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Tendon adhesions after tendon repair have been one of the problems difficult to solve in clinical practice.OBJECTIVE:
To introduce the current situation and progress of the prevention of postoperative tendon adhesions.METHODS:
A computer-based search of CNKI, Wanfang, PubMed databases for articles related to prevention of tendon adhesions published from January 1971 to May 2014 using the keywords of “tendon injury; tendon adhesions; progress” in Chinese and English, respectively. Repetitive content and irrelevant articles were excluded, and finaly 40 articles were included in result analysis. RESULTS ANDCONCLUSION:
In this paper, we analyze the characteristics of tendons and causes of tendon adhesions, summarize the methods for prevention of tendon adhesions and the therapeutic effects, and thereby analyze the pros and cons of various methods and materials for prevention of tendon adhesions. Prevention of tendon adhesions after tendon repair involves various aspects thorough debridement, better surgical approach, microsurgical repair of tendon tissues, applications of drugs and barrier materials, physical therapy as wel as appropriate functional exercise after tendon repair. The integrated use of these means can be done to prevent the occurrence of postoperative tendon adhesions.
