    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Musculoskeletal biology

    Background:

    • Tendon injuries require effective surgical management.
    • Primary repair and secondary reconstruction are common treatment modalities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the biology, management, and outcomes of primary tendon repair versus secondary reconstruction.
    • To identify factors influencing surgical success.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of studies on tendon repair and reconstruction.
    • Analysis of biological principles and management techniques.

    Main Results:

    • Surgical outcomes for both primary repair and secondary reconstruction were examined.
    • Repair of the tendon sheath was identified as a significant factor.
