- Authors
Hee-Chul Gwaka; Jun-Min Yoon; Dae-Yoo Kim
- Abstract
Collagen is the most common structural protein in the connective tissues of vertebrates, playing a crucial role in maintaining the tissue structure and wound healing. Atelocollagen retains the original properties of collagen but does not induce inflammatory cytokines. Atelocollagen is extracted from various animals and humans, with bovine-derived collagen being the most commonly used. The safety and efficacy of atelocollagen have been demonstrated through multiple studies, but further research will be needed in the field of orthopedics regarding its range of use and effects. Foot and ankle diseases have attracted little research attention, highlighting the need for further studies.
