Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To review the research progress of medicine biomaterials in prevention and treatment of adhesion after tendon injury, and to provide reference for clinical treatment. METHODS: The literature on the application of medical biomaterials in the prevention and treatment of tendon adhesions in recent years was reviewed, and the biological process, treatment methods, and current status of tendon adhesions were summarized. RESULTS: Tendon adhesion as part of the healing process of the tendon is the biological response of the tendon to the injury and is also a common complication of joint dysfunction. Application of medical biomaterials can achieve better biological function of postoperative tendon by reducing the adhesion of peritendon tissues as far as possible without adversely affecting the tendon healing process. CONCLUSION: The use of medical biomaterials is conducive to reduce the adhesion of tendon after operation, and the appropriate anti-adhesion material should be selected according to the patients' condition and surgical needs.
