Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Orthopedics
  • Sports Medicine

Background:

  • Mechanical load is a primary cause of cumulative trauma disorders in human tendons.
  • Current understanding of tendon adaptation, training effects, and chronic disorder development is limited.
  • Traditional methods for obtaining tendon tissue (surgery, autopsy) have significant limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the potential of ultrasound-guided percutaneous core biopsy for human tendon research and diagnosis.
  • To investigate human tendon adaptation, repair processes, and disease mechanisms.
  • To overcome limitations associated with traditional tendon tissue sampling methods.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized ultrasound-guided percutaneous core biopsy to obtain human Achilles and patellar tendon tissue.
  • Collected specimens for diagnostic and research purposes.
  • Compared the core biopsy technique with traditional methods (surgical, autopsy).

Main Results:

  • The core biopsy technique allows for obtaining human tendon tissue with limited discomfort.
  • This method has the potential to yield novel insights into early-stage painful tendon disorders.
  • Addresses limitations of invasive surgical biopsies and autopsy material with poor historical data.

Conclusions:

  • Ultrasound-guided core biopsy is a promising technique for human tendon research and diagnosis.
  • This method can advance knowledge regarding human tendon adaptation, repair, and disease.
  • Overcomes significant limitations of existing tissue sampling methods, paving the way for new discoveries.
