Abstract
Professional sports such as tennis training require repetitive shoulder movements, which can result in tendon fatigue and injury due to overuse. This injury usually occurs when an incorrect force is applied or when the tendon is overused. Because the tendon lacks blood vessels, the repair process is slow and ineffective. The treatment of tendon injuries has always been a clinical challenge. In addition to conventional surgery and nonoperative conservative treatment, biomaterial-based scaffolds may be a solution. In this review, we described several of the most popular biomaterials for tendon repair and presented the latest research advances. These biomaterials include protein-based biomaterials, carbohydrates, glycosaminoglycans, and acellular matrices. They have shown improved tendon repair ability both in vitro and in vivo. However, no gold standard has been established, and further experiments are needed.
