Flexor tendon injuries are common and require surgery. Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) is a natural graft used to repair tissues, though infections represent the primary cause of its therapeutic failure. In this study, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) were coated on the ADM in order to add antibacterial potential as well as enhance healing properties. Also, the produced ADM/ZnO-NPs graft was applied to accelerate fifth zone flexor tendon repair following the reconstructive surgery.
