Enhanced flexor tendon healing through controlled delivery of PDGF-BB.

30 Aug 2009 A fibrin/heparin-based delivery system was used to provide controlled delivery of platelet derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) in an animal model of intrasynovial flexor tendon repair. We hypothesized that PDGF-BB, administered in this manner, would ... Read more...

Tendon disorders of the foot and ankle, part 2: achilles tendon disorders.

3 May 2009 Disorders of the Achilles tendon include both acute and chronic ruptures as well as a spectrum of chronic overuse injuries involving inflammatory and degenerative changes within the tendon and surrounding tissues. These injuries are relatively ... Read more...

The effect of a local application of fibroblast growth factor-2 on tendon-to-bone remodeling in rats with acute injury and repair of the supraspinatus tendon.

29 Apr 2009 METHODS: We investigated the effect of application of fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 on the tendon-to-bone remodeling of repaired supraspinatus tendon in rats subjected to bilateral detachment. FGF-2 (100 mg/kg) in a fibrin sealant or sealant ... Read more...
