Tendon injuries are encountered after major and minor hand trauma. Despite meticulous repair technique, adhesion formation can occur, limiting recovery. Although a great deal of progress has been made toward understanding the mechanism of tendon healing and adhesions, clinically applicable solutions to prevent adhesions remain elusive. The goal of this paper is to review the most recent literature relating to the tendon healing and adhesion prevention.

Background: Failure after rotator cuff repair is typically due to a loss of integrity of the bone-tendon interface. The BioWick anchor (Zimmer-Biomet) is an interpositional scaffold-anchor that was developed to improve tendon-bone healing. The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical efficacy of this novel anchor compared with a standard anchor with respect to retear rates and patient outcomes.

Achilles tendon ruptures are prevalent among physically active adults and can lead to sural nerve injuries (SNIs) due to the anatomical proximity of the sural nerve to the Achilles tendon. While SNIs are well-recognized in surgical contexts, their occurrence following nonoperative treatments, which are often preferred for their lower risk of surgical complications, remains less documented and poorly understood. This report describes a case of a 30-year-old active male who developed chronic traction sural neuropathy after opting for nonoperative treatment of an acute complete Achilles tendon rupture.

Introduction: Tendon injuries represent an ongoing challenge in clinical practice due to poor regenerative capacity, structure, and biomechanical function recovery of ruptured tendons. This study is focused on the assessment of a novel strategy to repair ruptured Achilles tendons in a Nude rat model using stem cell-seeded biomaterial.
Methods: Specifically, we have used induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived mesenchymal stem cells (iMSCs) overexpressing the early tendon marker Scleraxis (SCX, iMSC, iTenocytes) in combination with an elastic collagen scaffold.

De Quervain's disease (DQVD) is the stenosing tenosynovitis of tendons in the first extensor compartment of the forearm. It is a common inflammatory condition that is often treated conservatively. While conservative therapy is an effective modality of treatment for a large number of patients suffering from DQVD, some patients do not improve with conservative measures.

Double-bundle (DB) anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has biomechanical advantages over single-bundle reconstruction. However, most studies perform the DB reconstruction with 2 femoral tunnels, which fails to provide an entire femoral footprint for ACL reconstruction. In this study, we describe a femoral double-bundle footprint technique for ACL reconstruction, named the tendon groove technique.
