Experimental study of tendon sheath repair via decellularized amnion to prevent tendon adhesion.

ABSTRACT: The adhesion of tendon and surrounding tissue is the most common complication after repairing an injured tendon. The injured flexor tendons in zone II are frequently accompanied by tendon sheath defects, which lead to poor recovery. A variety of biological and non-biological materials have been recently used for repair or as substitute for tendon sheaths to prevent tendon adhesion. However, non-biological materials, such as polyethylene films, have been used to prevent tendon adhesions by mechanical isolation. The possibility of tendon necrosis and permanent foreign body remains due to the lack of permeability and the obstruction of nutrient infiltration. The natural macromolecule amniotic membrane derived from organisms is a semi-permeable membrane with the following characteristics: smoo
