Microarray Analysis of Mechanical Shear Effects on Flexor Tendon Cells
1 Oct 2005
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Adhesion formation after flexor tendon repair remains a clinical problem. Early postoperative motion after tendon repair has been demonstrated to reduce adhesion formation while increasing tendon strength. The authors hypothesized that during mobilization, tendon cells experience mechanical shear forces that alter their biology in a fashion that reduces scar formation but also activates key genes...
