ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the histopathologic and biomechanical effects of hyaluronic acid (HA) and high-dose vitamin C (VC) on rat Achilles tendon healing. Methods: Forty-eight Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized to HA and VC and control groups with equal numbers. Each group was further divided into two subgroups to be sacrificed on Day 15 (n=8) and Day 30 (n=8). The Achilles tendons were cut and repaired. While the control rats remained untreated, HA and VC were administered after repair. The repaired tendons were removed for biomechanical and histopathologic analyses. In the biomechanical tests, the tendons were stretched to failure and maximum forces were measured. For histopathologic examination, the specimens were interpreted semiquantitatively using Movin's grading scale and Bonar scores. Results: The highest mean forces were obtained in the HA group on Day 15 and in the VC group on Day 30, with a significant difference between HA and VC on Day 15 between control and VC on Day 30 (p<0.05). Histological examination showed both Movin and Bonar scores decreased in all groups on Day 30, with significant improvements in the HA and VC groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: Our results demonstrated that both VC and HA had therapeutic effects on tendon healing, especially in the late phase. Level of Evidence I; High quality randomized trial with statistically significant difference.
RESUMO
RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar os efeitos histopatológicos e biomecânicos do ácido hialurônico (AH) e altas doses de vitamina C (VC) na cicatrização do tendão do calcâneo em ratos. Métodos: Quarenta e oito ratos Sprague-Dawley foram randomizados em grupo AH, grupo VC e grupo controle, iguais em número. Cada grupo foi dividido em dois subgrupos a serem sacrificados no Dia 15 (n = 8) e no Dia 30 (n = 8). Os tendões do calcâneo foram cortados e reparados. Enquanto os ratos do grupo controle permaneceram não tratados, os do grupo AH/VC receberam AH e VC após o reparo. Os tendões reparados foram removidos para análises biomecânicas e histopatológicas. Nos testes biomecânicos, os tendões foram estirados até a falha e as forças máximas foram medidas. No exame histopatológico, as amostras foram interpretadas semiquantitativamente usando os escores de Movin e de Bonar. Resultados: As forças médias mais altas foram obtidas no grupo AH no Dia 15 e no grupo VC, no Dia 30, com diferença significativa entre os grupos HA e VC no Dia 15 e entre os grupos controle e VC (p < 0,05). No exame histológico, os escores de Movin e Bonar diminuíram em todos os grupos no dia 30, com melhora significativas nos grupos AH e VC (p < 0,05). Conclusões: Nossos resultados demonstraram que tanto a VC quanto o AH tiveram efeitos terapêuticos sobre cicatrização do tendão, especialmente na fase tardia. Nível de Evidência I; Estudo clínico randomizado de alta qualidade com ou sem diferença estatisticamente significante.
