Objective To explore the clinical application of allogeneic tendonhandled by ultra-deep-low-temperature. Methods From March 1995 to June 2002，tendons rupture and tendons defect were repaired by ultra-deep-low-temperatureallogeneic tendon grafts in 96 cases, including 51 cases of flexor or extensor tendon defect of hand, 36 cases of coracoclariculare ligament rupture, 4 cases of cruciate ligament rupture, 2 cases of calcaneus tendon rupture and 3 cases ofextensor tendon defect of foot. The interval between injury and operation was 1day to 5 months. The length of defect was 4-12 cm with an average of 7 cm.The matching allogeneic tendons were selected during operation, and early function exercise was done after operation. Secondary release was performed in the cases of tendon adhesion.Results Follow-up time is from 6 months to 5 years (3.4 years on average). No rejection or rupture occurred after tendon allograft. The satisfactory result was achieved in 92.71% of the cases. Conclusion The allogeneic tendon is similar to auto-tendon in transplanting, healing and function is useful clinically.
