Return to sports and functional outcomes after autologous platelet-rich fibrin matrix (prfm) and debridement in midportion achilles tendinopathy: a case series with 24-month follow-up

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

The Achilles tendon is the strongest and largest tendon in the human body and is subject to high tensile loads, particularly during running. Transfer of an intact tendon (usually the flexor hallucis longus) can be performed in patients with poor Achilles tendon tissue. The authors conducted this study to examine the long-term (24-month) pain, functional outcomes, and scores of a cohort of patients with AT who received tendon debridement and autologous PRFM augmentation. After 6 months following surgical treatment, 28 patients had no pain during training, three patients had pain after training . . .
