Dry needling and autologous blood injection under ultrasound guidance shows promise as a treatment for patients with patellar tendinosis.

Ultrasound-guided injection of autologous skin-derived tendon-like cells can be safely used in the short term to treat patellar tendinopathy, with faster response of treatment and significantly greater improvement in pain and function than with plasma alone.

We report three complete ruptures and one partial rupture of the flexor pollicis longus tendon in association with the insertion of a volar plate for the treatment of fracture of the distal radius. Rupture was associated with the chronic use of steroids.
