Sponsor: I.R.C.C.S Ospedale Galeazzi-Sant'Ambrogio

Summary

Given the close correlation reported in the literature between onset and progression of tendon pathology in subjects affected by the alteration of metabolic disorders such as obesity, diabetes mellitus and lipidic metabolic alterations, with the present study the association between the nutritional state, metabolic profile and clinical outcome of patients following treatment with blood-derived orthobiological for shoulder tendinopathies will be evaluated. The primary aim of this study is to identify the proportion of tendinopatic patients responsive and non-responsive to treatment with "Platelet rich growth factors" PRGF at six months follow up and the correlation with their nutritional status.
