Molecular Biology of Flexor Tendon Healing in Relation to Reduction of Tendon Adhesions. The Journal of hand surgery Legrand, A., Kaufman, Y., Long, C., Fox, P. M. 2017

Abstract

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.
