A Prospective Comparison of Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection Versus Tenotomy for Treatment of Gluteus Minimus and Medius Tendinosis

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of various treatment soft
tendinosis also known as tendinitis.

Currently there are three treatments that are considered standard of care; rest, tenotomy
and tenotomy with injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Tenotomy is performed by passing
a needle through the abnormal tendon repeatedly until the needle has passed through all
areas of the abnormal tendon with softening of the tendon. Tenotomy with PRP injections is
performed in the same manner but includes an injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into
the tendon. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of tenotomy versus PRP treatment.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Adult subjects with a diagnosis of tendinosis of the hip.

- Adult subjects who have been referred to Dr. Jacobson for the treatment of tendinosis
by tenotomy.
