Retendo (mucopolygen complex) effects on achille tendon healing

DiscussionAlthough Retendo® (mucopolygen complex) is commonly used in muscle and tendon diseases, its effect mechanism is not definitely known. But in the light of the findings we acquired in our study, we detected that Retendo® (mucopolygen complex) applied after achilles tendon ruptures positively effected collagen sequencing during recovery in histological terms but didn't have a significant effect on the mean load achilles tendon can tolerate before rupturing.
