Abstract
Summary:Postoperative adhesions can deteriorate clinical outcomes in tendon repair surgery significantly. Thus, the use of artificial membranes as a tendon sheath substitute has become popular and well studied in the last years. We performed a case series of three patients using a novel synthetic membrane (Suprathel) for complex reconstructive surgery and traumatic tendon repair surgery. All patients recovered well with no significant adverse effects and showed good clinical function afterward. Therefore, we concluded that Suprathel might be another potential candidate to prevent postoperative peritendinous adhesions. Further studies will be necessary to determine the effect of this bioresorbable barrier membrane.
