Tendons transfer tensile loads from muscle to bone, which enable joint motions and stabilize joints. Tendons sustain large mechanical loads in vivo and as a result, tendons were frequently injured. Aging has been confirmed as a predisposing factor of tendinopathy and bad recovery quality following tendon repair. Current treatment methods are generally not effective and involve either symptomatic relief with non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs and physical therapy or surgery when conservative treatments failed. The limitation in treatment options is due to our incomplete knowledge of age-related tendinopathy. Studies over the past decades have uncovered a number of important mechanical and cellular changes of aging tendon. However, the basis of aging as a major risk factor for tendon injury and impaired tendon healing remained poorly understood. The objectives of this review are to provide an overview of the current knowledge about the aging-associated changes of structure, mechanical properties and treatment in tendon and highlight causes and therapies for age-related tendinopathy.

Talocalcaneal coalition often leads to a flatfoot deformity in children. Previous reports have uncovered many aspects of tarsal coalition and flatfoot respectively, including the etiology, clinical presentation, and diagnostic imaging, as well as treatment. However, the optimum surgical procedure for talocalcaneal coalition combined with flatfoot has not been definitively determined. The nonconformity of treatment options is due to our incomplete knowledge of biomechanics, diagnosis, and indication of treatment for talocalcaneal coalition with flatfoot. The objectives of this review are to provide an overview of the current knowledge about etiology, biomechanics, classification, diagnosis, and treatment options for talocalcaneal coalitions with flatfoot and highlight its therapies in children.

Talocalcaneal coalition combined with flatfoot in children: diagnosis and treatment: a review.

Chronic muscle injury is characteristics of fatty infiltration and fibrosis. Recently, fibro/adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) were found to be indispensable for muscular regeneration while were also responsible for fibrosis and fatty infiltration in muscle injury. Many myokines have been proven to regulate the adipose or cell proliferation. Because the fate of FAPs is largely dependent on microenvironment and the regulation of myokines on FAPs is still unclear. We screened the potential myokines and found Interleukin-15 (IL-15) may regulate the fatty infiltration in muscle injury. In this study, we investigated how IL-15 regulated FAPs in muscle injury and the effect on muscle regeneration.

Interleukin-15 facilitates muscle regeneration through modulation of fibro/adipogenic progenitors.

Fascial autografts, which are easily available grafts, have provided a promising option in patients with massive rotator cuff tears. However, no fascial autografts other than the fascia lata have been reported, and the exact healing process of the fascia-to-bone interface is not well understood. The objective of this study is to histologically and biomechanically evaluate the effect of the thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) on fascia-to-bone healing.

Fascia lata has been used for arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction (ASCR) and verified to achieve a good clinical outcome. However, it is still not known about revascularization character of the fascia lata after ASCR. This study was performed to evaluate the revascularization of autologous fascia lata grafts after ASCR by enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
