Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Tissue Engineering
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Tendon and ligament (T/L) regeneration presents a significant challenge in treating musculoskeletal diseases.
  • Current T/L repair materials often lack sufficient mechanical properties and biological integration.
  • Injectable hydrogels offer a minimally invasive approach due to the unique structure of T/L.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review advances in natural and synthetic polymeric injectable hydrogels for T/L tissue engineering.
  • To discuss the prospects of injectable and biodegradable hydrogels for T/L treatment.
  • To highlight future directions for developing advanced hydrogel therapies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on injectable hydrogels for T/L regeneration.
  • Analysis of natural and synthetic polymeric materials.
  • Evaluation of mechanical properties and biological interactions.

Main Results:

  • Injectable hydrogels show promise for minimally invasive T/L injury treatment.
  • Existing hydrogels often do not match the mechanical properties of native T/L.
  • A combination of material properties is needed for effective T/L repair.

Conclusions:

  • Injectable hydrogels are a suitable alternative to traditional T/L repair materials.
  • Future injectable hydrogels require enhanced mechanics, specific binding, and disease responsiveness.
  • Personalized precision therapy by combining various biological material advantages is essential for T/L regeneration.
