RESUMO
Objective To explore curative effects of coracolavicar ligament reconstructed with artificical tendon on treatment of complete acromioclavicular joint dislocation.Methods 32 patients with complete acromioclavicular joint dislocation received artificial tendon graft, 19 cases of whose implanted flexible carbonfiber tendon,and the others were treated with human-hair keratin artificial tendon (HHKAT). All patients were given bu internal fixation with Kirschner pins for 6 weeks after the operation.Results Fellowed-up for 4 months to 30 months showed the acromiclavicular join reduction and recovery of the anatomical relation of acromioclavicular joint checked by X-rayrecovered. According to karlsson scores, 21 cases graded excellent, 10 cases good and only one case bad, the excellent and good rate of recovery was 96 9%.Conclutions With the internal fixation with Kirschner pins in short term,and plus artificial tendon reconstructing coracoclavicalar ligament for patients with complete acromioclavicular joint dislocation, which had a little wound and a good curative effect, was easy to be performed and have worth in clinical application.
RESUMO
Objective To study the biocompatibility of human hair keratin artificial tendon(HHKAT) material in vitro. Methods Human embryonic tendon cell (HETC) was incubated with various concentrations (100%,50%,10%) of extracted liquid of HHKAT material for 1,3,5 and 7 days, respectively. Collagen I expression in HETC was detected by immunocytochemistry. The effects of HHKAT material on the proliferation and ultrastructure of HETC were observed. Results Various concentrations of extracted liquid of HHKAT had no effect on the morphologic, collagen I expression and ultrastructure of HETC. HETC could adhere, grow and proliferate on the surface of HHKAT material. Conclusion HHKAT is a medical biomaterial with good biocompatibility in vitro.
