Tendinopathy is increasingly recognized as an important cause of musculoskeletal
pain and disability. Tendinopathy is thought to be principally a degenerative
process, rather than inflammatory as was traditionally believed. Consequently,
traditional tendinopathy treatments focused solely on decreasing inflammation
have often been ineffective or even harmful. The advancement of ultrasonography
as for guidance of outpatient musculoskeletal procedures has facilitated the
development of novel percutaneous procedures for the treatment of tendinopathy,
mostly by using mechanical intervention to stimulate regeneration. Several of
these techniques, including percutaneous needle tenotomy, percutaneous ultrasonic
tenotomy, high-volume injection, and percutaneous needle scraping, are reviewed
in this article.
