Abstract:
Tendon and ligament tears are common and disabling musculoskeletal injuries. Chronic injury tends to occur in 15% to 48% of cases leading to surgical management after failed conservative care. Once soft tissues integrity is disrupted, the body begins to form scar tissue, which is inferior to a healthy tissue and demonstrates a lack of tensile strength and a stiffening that diminishes the range of motion. The main goal of surgical repair of tendons and ligaments is to restore anatomic structure and function. We follow 2 patients with complex soft tissue injuries treated with direct repair using structural collagen grafts.
