Abstract des Autors

Patients with tendinopathy are at risk of long-term morbidity. That morbidity will be reduced when a scientific foundation underpins tendon pathology, etiology, and treatment. A first step in this process is to acknowledge that painful overuse tendon conditions are often due to tendinosis, a pathological process that is not immediately reversible. Research to address the pathophysiology of tendinopathy and application of recent biologic advances as treatment are further steps to improve the prognosis for patients with tendinopathy.
