Abstract
Tendon grafts play a crucial role in reconstructive surgery, restoring function and stability to damaged tendons. This literature review examines the theoretical framework, surgical treatment, and potential complications associated with different types of tendon grafts. Autografts, harvested from the patient's own body, are considered the gold standard due to their biocompatibility and better integration. Allografts and synthetic grafts offer alternatives, eliminating donor site morbidity and providing consistent biomechanical properties. However, considerations include the risk of graft rejection and inferior mechanical performance. The selection of the most suitable graft should be tailored to individual patient needs, optimizing functional outcomes and patient satisfaction. Advances in graft technology continue to shape the landscape of reconstructive surgery, further enhancing patient outcomes and quality of life.
