In this study, 20 consecutive patients (9\u00a0men and 11 women, mean age 46 years) with chronic painful midportion Achilles tendinosis were treated with either sclerosing polidocanol injections (Group A) or open surgical revision of the area with vasculo\/neural ingrowth on the ventral side of the Achilles tendon (Group B). Before treatment, all patients had structural tendon changes and increased blood flow\u2010neovascularisation demonstrated with US and colour Doppler. Under US and colour Doppler\u2010guidance, both the injections and the surgical revision targeted the area with neovessels just outside the ventral part of the tendon. A maximum of two sclerosing injection treatments, with 6\u20138 weeks in\u2010between, were given. For evaluation, the patients recorded the severity of Achilles tendon pain during tendon loading activity (their recreational or sport activity), before and after treatment, on a VAS. Patient global satisfaction with treatment was also assessed. At the 3\u00a0months follow\u2010up 6\/9 (one patient was excluded) patients in Group A, and 8\/10 patients in Group B, were satisfied with the treatment and had a significantly reduced level of tendon pain (Group A VAS from 76 to 24, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05, Group B VAS from 75 to 21, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05). There was one deep infection in Group B. At the 6\u00a0months follow\u2010up, 6\/9 patients in Group A, and 10\/10 patients in Group B were satisfied. In summary, both treatment with sclerosing polidocanol injections and open surgical revision outside the ventral Achilles midportion show promising short\u2010term clinical results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167-007-0415-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,9,17]],"date-time":"2007-09-17T14:22:48Z","timestamp":1190038968000},"page":"1504-1509","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":64,"title":["Treatment of midportion Achilles tendinosis: similar clinical results with US and CD\u2010guided surgery outside the tendon and sclerosing polidocanol injections"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"H\u00e5kan","family":"Alfredson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgical and Perioperative Science Sports Medicine Sports Medicine Unit University of Ume\u00e5 901 87 Ume\u00e5 Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lars","family":"\u00d6hberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Sciences Diagnostic Radiology University of Ume\u00e5 901 87 Ume\u00e5 Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ewa","family":"Zeisig","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgical and Perioperative Science Sports Medicine Sports Medicine Unit University of Ume\u00e5 901 87 Ume\u00e5 Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ronny","family":"Lorentzon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgical and Perioperative Science Sports Medicine Sports Medicine Unit University of Ume\u00e5 901 87 Ume\u00e5 Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,9,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s001670000189"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167\u2010003\u20100391\u20106"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00441\u2010004\u20101014\u20103"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.36.3.173"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167\u2010004\u20100585\u20106"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167\u2010006\u20100161\u20103"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2165\/00007256-199418030-00004"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_1","unstructured":"\u00c5str\u00f6mM(1997)On the nature and etiology of chronic Achilles tendinopathy.Dissertation University of Lund Lund"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2165\/00007256\u2010200029020\u201000005"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/03635465980260020301"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/036354659702500618"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/03635465010290031101"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/1076\u20100512(94)00282\u2010U"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1524-4725.1993.tb00985.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_16_1","unstructured":"AnderssonG DanielssonP AlfredsonH ForsgrenS(2006)The arteries in the area targeted with successful sclerosing injections for Achilles tendinosis are under distinct neural control.In: Abstract 10th international conference on orthopaedics biomechanics and sports rehabilitation Assisi Italy"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167\u2010006\u20100720\u20107"}],"container-title":["Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/link.springer.com\/content\/pdf\/10.1007\/s00167-007-0415-8.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s00167-007-0415-8\/fulltext.html","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/esskajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1007\/s00167-007-0415-8","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,19]],"date-time":"2025-10-19T09:18:24Z","timestamp":1760865504000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/esskajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1007\/s00167-007-0415-8"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2007,9,18]]},"references-count":16,"journal-issue":{"issue":"12","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2007,12]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1007\/s00167-007-0415-8"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s00167-007-0415-8","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0942-2056","1433-7347"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0942-2056","type":"print"},{"value":"1433-7347","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2007,9,18]]}}}
