Degenerative tendinopathy results from the accumulation of minor injuries following unsuccessful tendon repair during acute tendon injuries. The process of tendon repair is prolonged and varies between individuals, making it susceptible to reinjury. Moreover, treating chronic tendinopathy often requires expensive and extensive rehabilitation, along with a variety of combined therapies to facilitate recovery. This condition significantly affects the quality of life of affected individuals, underscoring the urgent need for more efficient and cost-effective treatment options. Although traditional treatments have improved significantly and are being used as substitutes for surgical interventions, the findings have been inconsistent and conflicting. This review aims to clarify these issues by exploring the strengths and limitations of current treatments as well as recent innovations in managing various forms of degenerative tendinopathy.

Tendon and ligament injuries are highly prevalent but heal poorly, even with proper care. Restoration of native tissue function is complicated by the fact that these tissues vary anatomically in terms of their mechanical properties, composition, and structure. These differences develop as adaptations to diverse mechanical demands; however, pathology may alter the loads placed on the tissue.

Shoulder pain is one of the most common conditions in primary care, especially in elderly patients. Ultrasound stands out as an effective and cost-efficient tool for assessing these injuries, allowing real-time dynamic visualization of the affected anatomical structures. There is clear evidence that ultrasound is an effective diagnostic tool in the hands of a properly trained family physician.

Tendons play a crucial role in the musculoskeletal system, connecting muscles to bones and enabling efficient force transfer. However, they are prone to acute and chronic injuries, which, if not properly repaired, can significantly impair function. Tendinopathy, a prevalent condition affecting approximately 20% of musculoskeletal complaints, arises from an imbalance between micro-injury accumulation and repair processes.

In the past, humans have centered on a number of strategies of treating PT such as ultrasound and surgical treatment. However, they did no longer genuinely consider the effectiveness of eccentric, isometric, or HSR (Heavy Slow Resistance Training) education for PT; They did now not really outline the stage of PT to beautify the uniformity of the find out about participants; They did no longer immediately examine the affects of isometric, eccentric, and HSR training.

Background And Objective: Ultrasound guidance plays a pivotal role in percutaneous procedures for diagnosing and managing musculoskeletal disorders. Such procedures encompass biopsies for tumor, diagnostic aspiration and therapeutic drainage of abscesses, hematomas, cysts and fluid collections, therapeutic injections into joints, nerves, and tendons, as well as aspirations of calcium deposits and extraction of foreign bodies. This review aims to compile the most frequent ultrasound-guided procedures in the musculoskeletal system and present the state-of-the-art in current advances and evidence.
