  • Patellar Tendon Tear - Orthoinfo - AAOS 6/14/19, 11:18 AM
    Patellar Tendon Tear - OrthoInfo - AAOS 6/14/19, 11:18 AM DISEASES & CONDITIONS Patellar Tendon Tear Tendons are strong cords of fibrous tissue that attach muscles to bones. The patellar tendon works with the muscles in the front of your thigh to straighten your leg. Small tears of the tendon can make it difficult to walk and participate in other daily activities. A large tear of the patellar tendon is a disabling injury. It usually requires surgery and physical therapy to regain full knee function. Anatomy The tendons of the knee. Muscles are connected to bones by tendons. The patellar tendon attaches the bottom of the kneecap (patella) to the top of the shinbone (tibia). It is actually a ligament that connects to two different bones, the patella and the tibia. The patella is attached to the quadriceps muscles by the quadriceps tendon. Working together, the quadriceps muscles, quadriceps tendon and patellar tendon straighten the knee. https://orthoinfo.aaos.org/en/diseases--conditions/patellar-tendon-tear/ Page 1 of 9 Patellar Tendon Tear - OrthoInfo - AAOS 6/14/19, 11:18 AM Description Patellar tendon tears can be either partial or complete. Partial tears. Many tears do not completely disrupt the soft tissue. This is similar to a rope stretched so far that some of the fibers are frayed, but the rope is still in one piece. Complete tears. A complete tear will disrupt the soft tissue into two pieces. When the patellar tendon is completely torn, the tendon is separated from the kneecap. Without this attachment, you cannot straighten your knee.

POLICY Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) using either a high- or low-dose protocol or radial ESWT, is considered investigational as a treatment of musculoskeletal conditions, including but not limited to plantar fasciitis; tendinopathies including tendinitis of the shoulder, tendinitis of the elbow (lateral epicondylitis), Achilles tendinitis and patellar tendinitis; stress fractures; avascular necrosis of the femoral head; delayed union and non-union of fractures; and spasticity. There is insufficient evidence to support a conclusion concerning the health outcomes or benefits associated with this procedure. II. PRODUCT VARIATIONS TOP This policy is only applicable to certain programs and products administered by Capital BlueCross and subject to benefit variations as discussed in Section VI.

DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND TOP CHRONIC MUSCULOSKELETAL CONDITIONS Chronic musculoskeletal conditions (e.g., tendinitis) can be associated with a substantial degree of scarring and calcium deposition. Calcium deposits may restrict motion and encroach on other structures, such as nerves and blood vessels, causing pain and decreased function.

  • Tendinosis, Tendinitis, Tendon Tear, and CTS Protocol
    Tendinosis, Tendinitis, Tendon Tear, 0618-04 and CTS Protocol Tendons are thick cords that join muscles to bones. Healthy tendon tissue mostly consists of mature type I collagen fibers which are normally organized into bundles of fibrils that run parallel along the length of the tendon. The longitudinal arrangement of the collagen fibers gives the tendon its tensile strength. The tensile strength in a tendon can be more than twice that of its associated muscle. As a result, tendons are rarely injured or torn. There are also small amounts of type III collagen fibers present in healthy tissue. Type III collagen fibers are immature, thinner, unaligned with each other, and sometimes fail to link together to facilitate load- bearing. Tendinosis Type I Collagen Fibers Tendinosis is chronic tendon degeneration that involves collagen deterioration. It can occur in any tendon throughout the body but usually occurs in the Achilles tendon, wrist tendon, elbow tendon, patellar tendon or rotator cuff. Tendinosis usually occurs at the boney attachment (where the tendon attaches to the bone), but can also occur in the middle of the tendon, most commonly seen in the Achilles tendon. Symptoms include tendon pain when moved or palpated, stiffness and range of motion constraints as well as tendon thickening and lumps which can be Type II Collagen Fibers palpable or even visible in severe case. Clinically, tendon thickening is often present in older individuals who have had ongoing problems with tendinopathy, or in younger individuals who continually overload the tendon Tendinosis results when a tendon is continually overused from repetitive movements or strain without giving the tendon time to heal and rest.

  • Extracorporeal Shockwave for Chronic Patellar Tendinopathy
    Extracorporeal Shockwave for Chronic Patellar Tendinopathy Ching-Jen Wang,*† MD, Jih-Yang Ko,† MD, Yi-Sheng Chan,‡ MD, Lin-Hsiu Weng,† MD, and Shan-Lin Hsu,† MD From the †Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Chang Gung University College of Medicine, Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and the ‡Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Chang Gung University College of Medicine, Taoyuan, Taiwan Background: Chronic patellar tendinopathy is an overuse syndrome with pathologic changes similar to tendinopathies of the shoulder, elbow, and heel. Extracorporeal shockwave was shown effective in many tendinopathies. Hypothesis: Extracorporeal shockwave therapy may be more effective than conservative treatment for chronic patellar tendinopathy. Study Design: Randomized controlled clinical trial; Level of evidence, 2. Methods: This study consisted of 27 patients (30 knees) in the study group and 23 patients (24 knees) in the control group. In the study group, patients were treated with 1500 impulses of extracorporeal shockwave at 14 KV (equivalent to 0.18 mJ/mm² energy flux density) to the affected knee at a single session. Patients in the control group were treated with conservative treat- ments including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, physiotherapy, exercise program, and the use of a knee strap. The eval- uation parameters included pain score, Victorian Institute of Sports Assessment score, and ultrasonographic examination at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months and then once a year. Results: At the 2- to 3-year follow-up, the overall results for the study group were 43% excellent, 47% good, 10% fair, and none poor. For the control group, the results were none excellent, 50% good, 25% fair, and 25% poor.
