A Study to Review Clinical Complications from the Use of Office-based, Micro-invasive Procedures in a Tendinopathy Clinic Rochester, MN

The purpose of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the complication rate and outcomes of ultrasound-guided micro-invasive surgical procedures performed at 6 institutions.
A Study of Outcomes in Individuals Who Undergo Ultrasound Guided Achilles and Patellar Tendon Scraping for Tendinopathy Rochester, MN

The purpose of this study is to determine and describe the expected outcomes (degree of pain relief, duration of pain relief, return to sport or desired activity, and secondary treatment interventions sought) for individuals who undergo ultrasound guided Achilles and patellar tendon scraping for tendinopathy.
A Study to Evaluate the Safety of Ultrasound-guided Tenotomy for Achilles Tendinopathy and Feasibility of a Standardized Ultrasound Imaging Protocol Rochester, MN

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of Ultrasound-guided Tenotomy (USGT) by describing the rate and types of USGT-related complications at the Achilles, and to demonstrate the feasibility of an RCT (randomized control trial) at each site by measuring the patient volume per year treated with USGT for Achilles Tendinopathy (AT), and capture rate utilizing a standardized ultrasound imaging protocol for AT.

The research is about the post-procedure outcomes and is not about the ultrasound device or the ultrasound-guided tenotomy procedure.
