What is the effectiveness of high-volume injection, dry needling, and platelet-rich plasma in treating patellar tendinopathy?
Abstract
The evidence suggests that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections and dry needling can effectively reduce pain and improve function in patellar tendinopathy, while high-volume injections are less well-studied. More research is needed to standardize treatment protocols and compare these interventions directly.
