Abstract

Tendons require a prolonged time to heal and very often, full recovery is impossible. Healing may begin from the surrounding tissues or the tendon itself. Manipulation with different tissue elements, growth factors, inflammation mediators and influence of biomechanical factors can contribute to faster tendon tissue healing. For successful and
rapid tendon healing, treatment must begin in the earliest phases. Minimally invasive tissue manipulation and correct suture type and material is necessary. Early and moderate tendon mobilization during healing boosts tendon strength and decreases adhesions.
