Clinical Efficacy and Safety of Ultrasound-Guided Injection with Low-Molecular-Weight Peptides from Hydrolyzed Collagen in Patients with Partial Supraspinatus Tendon Tears: A Pilot Study
Intratendinous tear US-guided injection therapy with an LWP solution was found to be safe and effective in improving both pain and shoulder function at a 12-week follow-up visit. The present pilot study should be considered the first step justifying a larger confirmatory investigation.
