Nanofat Tendon Coating (NTC) A Promising Procedure In Treatment Of Tendinopathy

Introduction Tendinopathies are complex, often multifactorial, tendon pathologies that can be treated using the NTC+PPI technique, which involves applying nano fat to the affected tendon with a blunt cannula of different measures and calibre. Methods Thirty patients with various tendinopathies (Achilles, patellar, epicondylitis, etc.) were treated with NTC and followed up for six months. Patients were evaluated using specific scales for each type of tendinopathy (VISA-A, VISA-P, PRTEE, VAS). Results The results show a significant reduction in pain and improvement in tendon function in all patients. Evaluation scale scores improved significantly between T0 and six months after the procedure (T6). Conclusions The NTC technique appears to be a promising therapeutic option for the treatment of tendinopathies, with positive clinical and imaging results and significant pain reduction. The procedure is minimally invasive and does not require rest or immobilization.
