Description

Stubborn patellar tendinopathy (RPT) is a persistent sickness with reformist degeneration of extracellular lattice, microtearing, and deficiency of ligament microarchitecture as a trademark. The fundamental pathologic injury of tendinopaty is regularly depicted as a bombed mending reaction of the ligament, and steadiness of the sore is ascribed to the tissue secured in the proliferative or angiogenic stage, as demonstrated in histopathology.

Primary discoveries of collagen degeneration and angiofibroblastic neoplasia have been all around depicted and are currently alluded to as "neovascular tendinosis." The presence of neovascularization has been hypothesized to cause torment in patients with tendinopathy.

Ongoing examinations have inspected the part of neo-vessels and neoinnervation on persistent ligament agony and brokenness, and intercessions focusing on this cycle have revealed great results in RPT (Figure 1).of adult squirrel monkey.

Ultrasound-guided Intratissue percutaneous electrolysis (EPI®) treatment is the application of a direct current (DC) whose catodic flow is transferred to the area of the degenerative tendon using an acupuncture needle.

This accumulated electrical charge (AEC) in the degenerative tissue will produce the activation of the molecular, celular and biological processes necessary to restore the regeneration mechanisms of the tendon. In recent studies it has been demonstrated that EPI® technique is effective in tendinopathy and sport muscular injuries (Figures 1).
