Systemic EP4 Inhibition Increases Adhesion Formation in a Murine Model of Flexor Tendon Repair.
Flexor tendon injuries are a common clinical problem, and repairs are frequently complicated by post-operative adhesions forming between the tendon and surrounding soft tissue. Prostaglandin E2 and the EP4 receptor have been implicated in this process following tendon injury; thus, we hypothesized t...
