Viscoat, a high-molecular-weight, highly purified hyaluronic acid (HA) and chondroitin sulfate (CS) compound, was instilled around rabbit plantaris tendon following full-thickness laceration and surgical repair. After 3 weeks of immbolization, no significant difference in adhesion strength or tensile strength of the healing tendons existed bewteen Viscoat-treated tendons and controls. This contradicts previous studies which suggest that hyaluronic acid reduces postoperative tendon adhesions. Further studies examining tendon adhesions after less severe degrees of tendon injury and using direct, quantitative measurement techniques are warranted to demonstrate whether HA has a beneficial effect on tendon healing.
