Abstract EN
The Achilles tendon is the most common ruptured tendon of human body.
Reconstruction with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) artificial ligament is recommended in some serious cases.
Sodium hyaluronate (HA) is beneficial for the healing of tendon injuries.
We aimed to determine the effect of sodium hyaluronate in repair of Achilles tendon defect with PET artificial ligament in an animal tendon repair model.
Sixteen New Zealand White rabbits were divided into two groups.
Eight rabbits repaired with PET were assigned to PET group; the other eight rabbits repaired with PET along with injection of HE were assigned to HA-PET group.
All rabbits were sacrificed at 4 and 8 weeks postoperatively for biomechanical and histological examination.
The HA-PET group revealed higher biomechanical property compared with the PET group.
Histologically, more collagen tissues grew into the HA-PET group compared with PET group.
In conclusion, application of sodium hyaluronate can improve the healing of Achilles tendon reconstruction with polyethylene terephthalate artificial ligament.
