Authors M A Paantjens, P H Helmhout, M T A W Martens, G W Lentjes, E W P Bakker Publisher BMJ Mil Health 2025 Feb 26:military-2024-002918. doi: 10.1136/military-2024-002918 Publishing detail PMID: 40011020 LINK: https://militaryhealth.bmj.com/lookup/pmidlookup?view=long&pmid=40011020 Abstract Introduction: Midportion Achilles tendinopathy (mid-AT) is associated with tendon degeneration that may worsen due to mechanical loading. Contrastingly, load can also improve tendon…

Patellar Tendon Structural Changes after BM-MSC and Lp-PRP Treatments: A Double-Blind Clinical Trial

Human, PublicationAugust 8, 202425Views 0Likes 0Comments

Patellar tendinopathy, commonly affecting athletes, is marked by pain and degeneration in the patellar tendon. While various treatments exist, finding effective therapies that offer long-term structural improvement remains challenging. A recent clinical study by Silvia Ortega-Cebrián, Robert Soler-Rich, Lluis Orozco and Gil Rodas highlights the role of Ultrasound Tissue Characterization (UTC) in evaluating two promising…
