The Effect of Hydroxyapatite-Coated, Reinforced, Nonabsorbable Polyfilament Suture Material on Tendon-Bone Healing
The use of HAp-coated nonabsorbable polyfilament sutures may enhance TBH. Early histological evaluations indicated a positive effect on TBH, which was further corroborated by radiological and biomechanical improvements. These findings warrant further clinical investigation to explore potential applications.
