Abstract EN
Tissue engineering techniques using novel scaffold materials offer potential alternatives for managing tendon disorders.
Tissue engineering strategies to improve tendon repair healing include the use of scaffolds, growth factors, cell seeding, or a combination of these approaches.
Scaffolds have been the most common strategy investigated to date.
Available scaffolds for tendon repair include both biological scaffolds, obtained from mammalian tissues, and synthetic scaffolds, manufactured from chemical compounds.
Preliminary studies support the idea that scaffolds can provide an alternative for tendon augmentation with an enormous therapeutic potential.
However, available data are lacking to allow definitive conclusion on the use of scaffolds for tendon augmentation.
We review the current basic science and clinical understanding in the field of scaffolds and tissue engineering for tendon repair.
