(In vivo ligament repair with an inter positional allograft and treatment with hyaluronic acid (HA

Surface modification of extra synovial tendon by chemically modified hyaluronic acid coating.

Article specifications

This clinical study was published in 2002 in Journal of J Biomed Mater Res. (IF 2014:3.70) by Canadian specialists. The purpose of this study was to investigate if in vivo ligament repair with an inter positional allograft and treatment with hyaluronic acid (HA) would improve the mechanical properties of a medial collateral ligament (MCL) healing from a gap injury.

 

Results

Chemically modified HA-treated extra synovial tendons may improve gliding of tendon graft and reduce adhesion postoperatively, compared with traditional grafts.
