Tendon augmentation with a novel biomimetic polydioxanone patch: an in vivo biocompatibility study
- Abstract:
-
Introduction and Aims: There is great interest in biomimetic devices to augment tendon repairs. Ideally, implants improve healing without causing adverse local or systemic reactions. Biocompatibility remains a critical issue prior to implantation into humans, as some implants elicit a foreign body response (FBR) involving inflammation, poor wound healing and even fistulae formation. Any implant should maintain its tensile strength while tendon healing occurs. Additionally, the effec...
