Bioinductive Collagen Implant Augmentation for the Repair of Chronic Lower Extremity Tendinopathies: A Report of Two Cases.

In this report, we present two cases of refractory chronic lower extremity tendinopathies treated with collagen bioinductive implant augmentation: a 20-year-old male football player with chronic patellar tendinopathy and a 40-year-old active female with chronic proximal hamstring tendinopathy. We demonstrate that bioaugmentation may represent an effective strategy in the surgical treatment of chronic tendinopathies. Both patients were able to return to their pre-injury activity levels at an accelerated rate.
