Connective tissue, including neo-tendons and ligaments, has been constructed using
biodegradable Synthetic Scaf folds seeded with tenocytes. The scaffolds are preferably …

Tendons and ligaments are fibrous connective tissues that facilitate stability and motion of
joints. Significant dysfunction and disability may result from suboptimal healing of tendon …

Tendon ruptures are a great burden in clinics. Finding a proper graft material as a substitute
for tendon repair is one of the main challenges in orthopaedics, for which the requirement of …

Tissue regeneration is aimed at producing biological or synthetic scaffolds to be implanted
in the body for regenerate functional tissues. Several techniques and materials have been …

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is important for knee stabilization. Unfortunately, it is
also the most commonly injured intra-articular ligament. Due to poor vascularization, the …

Driven by market demand, many biological and synthetic scaffolds have been developed
during the last 15 years. Both positive and negative results have been reported in clinical …

Regeneration of injured tendon and ligament (T&L) remains a clinical challenge due to their
poor intrinsic healing capacity. Tissue engineering provides a promising alternative …

Many clinical and experimental studies have investigated how tendons repair in response to
an injury. This body of work has led to a greater understanding of tendon healing …

Introduction Several biomaterials are available to bridge large tendon defects or reinforce
tenuous tendon repairs. Methods We performed a comprehensive search of PubMed …

Tendon and ligament injuries are significant contributors to musculoskeletal injuries.
Unfortunately, traditional methods of repair are not uniformly successful and can require …
