Exogenous hyaluronate as an adjunct in the prevention of adhesions after flexor tendon surgery : A controlled clinical trial

摘要: Postoperative adhesions that restrict tendon gliding are a major cause of failure after repair and grafting in zone II. Several experimental reports have claimed exogenously administered sodium hyaluronate helps to prevent the formation such adhesions. In prospective double-blind, randomized, clinical study with open therapeutic control or physiologic saline solution was injected into sheath completion tenorrhaphy 120 digits. Sodium had no statistically significant effect as evaluated on total active motion at follow-up.
