Tendon Repair

Meaning

Tendon repair is the complex biological process by which injured or damaged connective tissue, which links muscle to bone, undergoes healing and regeneration to restore its structural integrity and mechanical function. This process involves multiple phases, including inflammation, proliferation, and tissue remodeling, all of which must be precisely orchestrated to achieve a robust, functional outcome. Hormonal status, particularly the balance of growth factors and sex steroids, significantly influences the speed and quality of this repair.
