Transversal calcaneal anchored Achilles tendon reconstruction with free semitendinosus tendon autograft for acute rupture of Achilles tendon: clinical evaluation

open access: yesScientific Reports
Achilles tendon reconstruction is an effective method of repairing Achilles tendon rupture defects. We introduce a new approach for Achilles tendon reconstruction using transversal calcaneal anchored autogenous semitendinosus tendon graft.

Gene expression and matrix turnover in overused and damaged tendons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Chronic, painful conditions affecting tendons, frequently known as tendinopathy, are very common types of sporting injury. The tendon extracellular matrix is substantially altered in tendinopathy, and these changes are thought to precede and underlie the

Increased Blood Flow and Tendon Swelling Precedes Vascular Expansion and Tissue Matrix Changes In Early Human Tendinopathy: A Potential Window for Superior Treatment Response

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Human participants with early‐ or chronic‐stage tendinopathy and healthy controls are investigated using ultrasound Doppler, 3T and 7T MRI, and tendon biopsies. Tendon swelling and hyperperfusion are evident early, while vascular growth and extracellular matrix changes are most pronounced in chronic tendinopathy. Early intervention may provide superior

Disappointment and frustration, but long-term satisfaction: patient experiences undergoing treatment for a chronic Achilles tendon rupture—a qualitative study

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2022
Background Delayed treatment of Achilles tendon ruptures is generally due to either misdiagnosis or patient delay. When the treatment is delayed more than 4 weeks, the rupture is defined as “chronic”, and almost always requires more invasive surgery and ...

Fiber‐type soft bioelectronics for wearable and implantable sensing and therapy

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
Fiber‐type soft bioelectronics are emerging as versatile platforms for wearable and implantable health monitoring and therapeutic applications. These bioelectronics use organic and inorganic matrices combined with advanced fillers, which feature high conductivity, electrochemical sensitivity, softness, and biocompatibility.

Ciprofloxacin reduces the stimulation of prostaglandin E2 output by interleukin-1 in human tendon-derived cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Fluoroquinolone antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin can induce tendon pathology and have various effects on tendon-derived cells in culture. We are investigating whether ciprofloxacin modifies signalling responses in tendon cells.

Effects of Ultrasound‐Guided Tenotomy and Debridement on Pain, Function, and Psychological Factors for Achilles Tendinopathy: A Prospective Cohort Study

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ultrasound‐guided tenotomy and debridement is a minimally invasive treatment with a low risk of complications for individuals with chronic Achilles tendinopathy. Yet the benefits of this procedure on pain, function, and pain‐related psychological factors, as well as predictors of treatment success, remain understudied.

Ciprofloxacin Treatment in Juvenile Mice Involves Neuronal Activation and Mimics Physical Features of Human Disease

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tendinopathy is a complex, painful condition that affects up to 5% of the general population in their lifetime. Antibiotic treatment with fluoroquinolones has been associated with the onset of tendinopathy and tendon rupture. The mechanisms behind fluoroquinolone induced tendinopathy remain unclear. To probe activation of potentially causative
