Abstract

Chronic refractory tendinopathy accounts for over 30 million office visit per year (2013). In spite of the considerable burden of disease this condition represents, there remains no consensus regarding treatment, or even what constitutes the chronic refractory state. Recent studies have clarified the definition of a chronic refractory process. More importantly an innovative new technology appears to offer potential solution at all anatomic sites of involvement for the majority of patients. In the last 6 years, the use of an ultrasonic device directed to the pathologic tissue under ultrasound image guidance has proven extremely safe and effective in over 70,000 treatments. As clinical studies emerge documented experience suggests this treatment is performed with the difficulty and safety of a cortisone injection but with the same benefit of surgery without the cost or morbidity.
