Molecular and Structural Effects of Percutaneous Interventions in Chronic Achilles Tendinopathy

Résumé

Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is a common problem, especially in people of working age, as well as in the elderly. Although the pathogenesis of tendinopathy is better known, therapeutic management of AT remains challenging. Various percutaneous treatments have been applied to tendon lesions: e.g., injectable treatments, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), corticosteroids, stem cells, MMP inhibitors, and anti-angiogenic agents), as well as percutaneous procedures without any injection (percutaneous soft tissue release and dry needling). In this review, we will describe and comment on data about the molecular and structural effects of these treatments obtained in vitro and in vivo and report their efficacy in clinical trials. Local treatments have some impact on neovascularization, inflammation or tissue remodeling in animal models, but evidence from clinical trials remains too weak to establish an accurate management plan, and further studies will be necessary to evaluate their value.
