Objective To review the research progress of mechanism and prevention of peritendinous adhesions. Methods Recent literature about peritendinous adhesions was reviewed, and the results from experiments about the mechanism and prevention of peritendinous adhesions were analyzed. Results The molecular mechanism of peritendinous adhesions is related to overexpressions of transforming growth factor β1, early growth response protein 1, matrix metallopeptidase 9, and so on. The present methods of prevention of peritendinous adhesions include drugs, barrier, optimizing rehabilitation, gene therapy, and so on. These methods have achieved good results in experiments, but the clinical applications have not been confirmed yet. Conclusion It is necessary to pay more attention to the research of mechanism of peritendinous adhesions and methods of its prevention and subsequently to convert them into clinical applications, which is significant to the prevention of peritendinous adhesions in the future.
