Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Needle Tenotomy (PNT) vs Percutaneous Ultrasonic Needle Tenotomy (PUT) for Gluteal Tendinosis
Sponsor: University of Colorado, Denver
Summary
The goal of this study is to determine if a newer tenotomy technique utilizing an ultrasound needle is more effective than the traditional tenotomy technique utilizing a simple hypodermic needle for gluteal tendinosis. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is pain from the gluteal tendinosis improved with either technique, and, if so, is there a difference in the improvement between techniques? 2. Is there an improvement in function for gluteal tendinosis, and, if so, is there a difference between techniques?
