Article specifications

This review study was published in 2015 in journal of Sci. Bull (IF: 2016:4.092) by Israel specialists. The authors reviewed 56 patients with insertional AT treated between 2007 and 2012. All patients were followed up for one year. Patients were divided into three groups: the first group treated by the corticosteroid injection, the second group treated by single hyaluronate injection and the third group treated by rest, splint, NSAIDs, and physiotherapy.

 

Result

The result of this study showed that hyaluronate injection therapy is superior to steroid therapy and non-invasive conservative treatment for insertional Achilles tendinopathy (AT).
