Despite the current treatments available, either surgical or conservative, the tendon healing process is often suboptimal and impaired. This is due to the inherent scarce ability of tendon tissue to repair and return itself to the original structure. Recently, Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSC) and stromal vascular fraction (SVF) have gained a central interest in the scientific community, demonstrating their effectiveness in treatments of acute and chronic tendon disorders in animals and humans. Either enzymatic or mechanical procedures to obtain ADSC and SVF have been described and used in current clinical practice. However, no unified protocols and processes have been established. Materials and Methods: This systematic review aims at providing a comprehensive update of the literature on the clinical application of ADSC enzymatically or mechanically processed to obtain SVF, alone and in association with biomaterials in the local treatment of tendinopathy and tendon injury in vivo, in animal models and humans. The study was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Results: Thirty-two articles met our inclusion criteria, with a total of 18 studies in animals, 10 studies in humans and 4 studies concerning the application of biomaterials in vivo in animals. The review of the literature suggests that ADSC\/SVF therapy can represent a promising alternative in tendonregenerative medicine for the enhancement of tendon healing. Conclusions: Nevertheless, further investigations and randomized control trials are needed to improve the knowledge, standardize the procedures and extend the consensus on their use for such applications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina59020273","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,1]],"date-time":"2023-02-01T02:52:02Z","timestamp":1675219922000},"page":"273","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Efficacy of Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Stromal Vascular Fraction Alone and Combined to Biomaterials in Tendinopathy or Tendon Injury: Systematic Review of Current Concepts"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"59","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6635-4707","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Letizia","family":"Senesi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic Reconstructive Surgery, Hand Surgery Unit, Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria delle Marche, 60121 Ancona, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2977-7828","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francesco","family":"De Francesco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic Reconstructive Surgery, Hand Surgery Unit, Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria delle Marche, 60121 Ancona, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9794-1963","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrea","family":"Marchesini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic Reconstructive Surgery, Hand Surgery Unit, Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria delle Marche, 60121 Ancona, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pier Paolo","family":"Pangrazi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic Reconstructive Surgery, Hand Surgery Unit, Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria delle Marche, 60121 Ancona, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maddalena","family":"Bertolini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopaedic and Traumatology 2 Surgery for the Upper Limb and Reconstructive Microsurgery, Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria Citt\u00e0 della Salute e della Scienza, 10126 Turin, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Valentina","family":"Riccio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Bioscience and Veterinary Medicine, University of Camerino, 62024 Matelica, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michele","family":"Riccio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic Reconstructive Surgery, Hand Surgery Unit, Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria delle Marche, 60121 Ancona, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Torres-Torrillas, M., Rubio, M., Damia, E., Cuervo, B., Del Romero, A., Pel\u00e1ez, P., Chicharro, D., Miguel, L., and Sopena, J.J.
