Study assessing the efficacy of ultrasound-guided Tenex debridement for chronic tennis elbow.
Evidence supports Tenex debridement as a minimally invasive yet durable alternative to surgical debridement for chronic tennis elbow.
Retrospective study assessing the safety and efficacy of platelet-rich plasma and Tenex debridement in lateral elbow tendinopathy.
The findings from this study indicate that both Ultrasonic Tenotomy and Debridement (USTD) and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) are highly effective, safe treatments for lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET), achieving a combined surgical avoidance rate of 86.5%.
Study assessing the efficacy of ultrasound-guided Tenex tenotomy for greater trochanteric pain syndrome.
A 22-month study of 29 patients with chronic gluteal tendinopathy found that ultrasound-guided tenotomy via the Tenex device significantly improved both pain and mobility. Mean pain scores dropped by over 50% (5.86 to 2.82), while functional Harris Hip Scores rose from 60.03 to 77.47.
A Meta-Analysis of the Efficacy of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis.
This meta-analysis of 9 randomized controlled trials involving 1,174 participants confirms that extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) administered without local anesthesia is a highly effective treatment for recalcitrant plantar fasciitis.
A clinical study evaluating the efficacy of shockwave therapy (SWT) for chronic hamstring tendinopathy in professional athletes.
In this Level 1 randomized controlled study of 40 professional athletes, shockwave therapy (SWT) proved significantly more effective than traditional conservative treatments for chronic proximal hamstring tendinopathy.
A Systematic Review of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy for Various Sports-Related Injuries.
This systematic review of 56 studies suggests that extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is an effective and safe treatment for specific sports-related injuries in athletes.
The Orthobiologics Research Initiative is conducting a 12-month clinical trial.
The Orthobiologics Research Initiative is conducting a 12-month clinical trial comparing Micro-Fragmented Adipose Tissue (MFAT) injections to standard cortisone for treating partial rotator cuff tears.
A case report demonstrating that combination MFAT and PRP therapy successfully achieved clinical and radiographic healing.
This case report describes the successful healing of a partial-thickness supraspinatus tear in a 50-year-old male using a combination of microfragmented adipose tissue (MFAT) and adjuvant platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
Study evaluating bone marrow concentrate as a therapeutic intervention for recalcitrant Achilles tendinopathy.
In a study by Thueakthong et al., researchers evaluated the efficacy of Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC)—a process involving the aspiration, concentration, and injection of bone marrow—for treating recalcitrant Achilles tendinopathy.
Study evaluating the therapeutic impact of combined BMC and PRP injections on moderate-to-severe osteoarthritis.
This 2016 retrospective study of 125 patients found that a single ultrasound-guided Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMC)injection followed by a PRP booster at eight weeks significantly reduced median pain by 71.4% in patients with moderate-to-severe osteoarthritis.
