OBJECTIVE: To further explore the effects of fibroblast growth factor on soft tissue repair. METHODS: Based on the data from our experiments and clinical trial and data from other reports, a further reconsideration about fibroblast growth factor and soft tissue repair was demonstrated, including embryonic development, histology, animal experiments, clinical trial and prospect. RESULTS: Amounts of basic and clinical data showed that fibroblast growth factor was needed in embryonic development. Exogenous fibroblast growth factor could accelerate wound healing. CONCLUSION: Fibroblast growth factor is a bioactive protein which can obviously promote wound healing, it has broad prospects of clinical application.
