Treatment of Tendinosis Using the TenJet Hydroresection System

Sponsor: Rothman Institute Orthopaedics

Summary

Treatment of recalcitrant tendinopathy remains a clinical challenge for physicians without a minimally invasive treatment option that can consistently provide patients with a long-term relief from chronic pain and ability to return to function. Surgical debridement of degenerative tendon tissue has long been the standard of care to treat degenerative tendon pathology once all conservative or minimally invasive treatment options have failed. Ultrasound guided tenotomy is an emerging treatment option with the potential to address the underlying degenerative, diseased tissue, by selectively resecting and removing the tissue in a minimally invasive manner. Additionally, with the availability of in-office diagnostic ultrasound imaging, physicians now have an opportunity to evaluate and classify underlying tendon pathology during a clinical exam. This study is to evaluate outcomes in patients presenting with a clinical history of recalcitrant tendinopathy with confirmed diagnosis of degenerative tendinosis using diagnostic ultrasound imaging or MRI.
