Objective:To evaluate the efcacy of ultrasound-guided autologous blood injection in chronic Achilles tendinopathy. Design: Prospective randomised controlled trial. Setting:Tertiary care hospital. Participants: 45 patients of chronic Achilles tendinopathy. Intervention: Participants were allocated to 2 groups i.e. autologous blood injection under ultrasound-guidance group (n=23) and extra corporeal shockwave therapy group (n=22) while in both groups eccentric heel drop stretching exercise were added. Outcome measures:VAS, VISA-Aand ultrasonography. Follow up at 4, 12 and 24 weeks. Results: The mean VAS score changes within-subject analysis were signicant in both ABI and ESWT group (p<0.001), however between-group analysis at 4, 12 and 24 weeks were not signicant (p>0.05). The mean VISA-A score within-subject analysis were signicant in both the groups (p<0.001). The between-group analysis show signicant difference at 12 weeks (p=0.006) and 24 weeks (p=0.001). The between-group analysis of mean tendon size were signicant at 24 weeks (p=0.001). Conclusions: This study showed that ultrasound guided autologous blood injection is effective in reducing pain and disability in chronic Achilles tendinopathy at 6 months. ABI might have additive regenerative therapeutic effect.

Purpose. This study explored the effect of autologous blood injection (with ultrasound guidance) to the elbows of patients who had radiologically assessed degeneration of the origin of extensor carpi radialis brevis and failed cortisone injection/s to the lateral epicondylitis.Methods. This prospective longitudinal series involved preinjection assessment of pain, grip strength, and function, using the patient-rated tennis elbow evaluation. Patients were injected with blood from the contralateral limb and then wore a customised wrist support for five days, after which they commenced a stretching, strengthening, and massage programme with an occupational therapist. These patients were assessed after six months and then finally between 18 months and five years after injection, using the patient-rated tennis elbow evaluation.Results. Thirty-eight of 40 patients completed the study, showing significant improvement in pain; the worst pain decreased by two to five points out of a 10-point visual analogue for pain. Self-perceived function improved by 11–25 points out of 100. Women showed significant increase in grip, but men did not.Conclusions. Autologous blood injection improved pain and function in a worker’s compensation cohort of patients with chronic lateral epicondylitis, who had not had relief with cortisone injection.
