The effect of pentoxifylline on Achilles tendon healing in tenotomized rabbits.

CONCLUSION: Pentoxifylline increased healing and strength in rabbit Achilles tendon by stimulating collagen synthesis, increasing vascularity and reducing inflammation, particularly in the early period both histopathologically and biomechanically. According to our study, PTX may be favorable for the treatment of human Achilles tendon injuries and tendinopathies. PMID: 31650923 [PubMed - in process]
