Background:

Tendon and ligament injuries represent a significant global health burden, impacting millions annually.
Current treatments like surgical repair and tissue grafts have limited efficacy and high recurrence rates.
These injuries severely impair mobility and can lead to serious complications if not managed effectively.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of tendon and ligament injuries.
To explore current advancements in tissue engineering for tendon and ligament repair.
To examine the role of stem cells, cell-secreted products, bioreactors, and mechanical loading in tissue engineering.

Main Methods:

Literature review focusing on tendon and ligament injury, current treatments, and tissue engineering strategies.
Discussion of stem cell therapies and cell-secreted products for regenerative purposes.
Analysis of bioreactor applications and mechanical stimulation for in vitro maturation of engineered tissues.

Main Results:

Tissue engineering provides diverse treatment options, including biological constructs, stem cell therapy, and cell-secreted products.
Bioreactors combined with mechanical stimulation are crucial for developing mature engineered tendon and ligament substitutes in vitro.
Recent advances highlight the potential of tissue engineering in addressing tendon and ligament damage.

Conclusions:

Tissue engineering demonstrates significant promise as an alternative treatment for damaged tendons and ligaments.
Further research is essential to develop ideal engineered tendon and ligament substitutes for clinical use.
Optimizing engineered tissues is key to overcoming the limitations of current therapeutic approaches.
