Percutaneous Needle Tenotomy and Tenex Health Therapy in the Rehabilitation Patient

Chronic tendinopathy can be a painful and debilitating condition that can significantly impact a patient’s quality of life. Those who fail conservative management are traditionally left with open surgical tenotomy as the only treatment option. However, less invasive ultrasound-guided percutaneous interventions are gaining recognition as viable treatment modalities. Percutaneous Needle Tenotomy and the Tenex Health TX procedure are both safe and effective treatment options for patients with chronic tendinopathy. This chapter discusses the indications, techniques, and therapeutic effects of these percutaneous interventions.
