?:definition
  • Spacers that are temporarily implanted within a tendon sheath during the first stage of a two-stage tendon reconstruction procedure. These spacers are intended to hold apart the inner surfaces of the tendon sheath and promote formation of a pseudosheath, a reorganization of tissue around the spacer that resembles a natural tendon sheath and will envelope the tendon graft implanted in the second stage of the procedure. Tendon spacers are typically made of polymeric materials and come in various sizes that may be cut and shaped as needed.
