Dr. Sandeep Naphade Highlights Advancing Strategies in Tendon Injury Reconstruction
10 Feb 2026
Dr. Sandeep Naphade, General Surgeon in Pimple Saudagar, Pune, shared insights into the evolving management of complex tendon injuries, which continue to pose significant reconstructive challenges due to adhesion formation and limited tendon vascularity. While primary tendon repair with meticulous suturing remains the cornerstone of treatment, complications such as suture line dehiscence and delayed healing can affect functional outcomes. Dr. Naphade emphasized the growing role of biologically active wound care modalities, particularly extracellular matrix (ECM), which acts as a bioactive scaffold to support cellular migration, regulate inflammation, and promote organized tissue regeneration. Integrating ECM-based regenerative strategies with expert surgical repair has shown promise in improving wound stability, enhancing healing, and optimizing long-term functional recovery in complex tendon reconstruction cases.
