Introducción: En 2017, en la Ciudad de México, se realizó una estadística sobre las principales patologías atletas alto rendimiento. Basado los hallazgos encontrados, revisan conceptos, tratamientos y abordajes, con relación a tendinopatías. Se describen protocolos ejercicios excéntricos, que demostraron eficacia del ejercicio excéntrico. La este tipo ejercicio, debe respuesta tendones al entre...

Tendon-related disorders are a common condition in both sports medicine and orthopedic clinical practice. Ultrasonography, power doppler, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) the most widespread technologies, but use of ultrasound elastography—including strain elastography shear wave elastography—has been increasing last years. The aim this paper is to evaluate tendon-related disorders. Research Pu...

reater trochanteric pain syndrome is a common condition that most commonly affects middle-aged and elderly women and potentially younger active male and female individuals.1 Symptoms include pain referable to the lateral hip as well as point tenderness that often interferes with activity and sleeping.2,3 Contrary to prior misconceptions that symptoms were due to underlying bursitis, it has been...

We report a case of Achilles tendinosis that was treated with a high volume, hydrodissection visualized by conventional B-mode ultrasound. Prior MRI revealed a thickened right Achilles tendon with a small defect. Ultrasound examination showed a thickened Achilles tendon with physical exam revealing a prominent Haglund’s deformity, mild fusiform swelling and pain along the posterior Achilles (Fi...

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between tendon micro-morphology quantified from a sonogram and tendon mechanical characteristics measured in vivo. Nineteen adults (nine with unilateral Achilles tendinosis) participated. A commercial ultrasound scanner was used to capture longitudinal B-mode ultrasound images from the mid-portion of bilateral Achilles tendons and a cust...

Tendon pathology has many manifestations, from spontaneous rupture to chronic tendinitis or tendinosis; the etiology and pathology of each are very different, and poorly understood. Tendon is a comparatively poorly vascularised tissue that relies heavily upon synovial fluid diffusion to provide nutrition. During tendon injury, as with damage to any tissue, there is a requirement for cell infilt...

The shoulder is the site of multiple injuries and inflammatory conditions that lend themselves to diagnostic and therapeutic injection. Joint injection should be considered after other therapeutic interventions such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, physical therapy, and activity-modification have been tried. Indications for glenohumeral joint injection include osteoarthritis, adhesive c...

Topical nitrates provide shortterm relief with some side effects, especially headache. Topical nitroglycerin (NTG) patches improve subjective pain scores by about 30% and range of motion over 3 days in patients with acute shoulder tendinopathy (strength of recommendation [SOR]: C, small randomized controlled trial [RCT] with no methodologic flaws). NTG patches, when combined with tendon rehabil...
