About this trial
PMCF study to further substantiate the effectiveness and safety of OSTENIL® TENDON in the overall as well as indication-specific treatment of pain and restricted mobility in four different tendon disorders (patella tendon, peroneal tendon, medial epicondylus humeri and iliotibial band) in a real-life clinical setting when used according to the instructions for use.

OSTENIL® TENDON
DeviceOSTENIL® TENDON is a CE-certified viscoelastic solution intended for peritendinous or intrasheath injection, containing 2 % sodium hyaluronate from fermentation.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Change of pain intensity 3 months after end of treatment compared to baseline (visual analogue scale)
Evaluation of pain intensity by the patient on a 100 mm visual analogue scale. 100 mm equals the worst pain.
Secondary outcomes
Change of Upper -/ Lower Extremity Functional Scale compared to baseline
Indication specific patient questionnaire to assess effectiveness of treatment on a 5-point Likert scale (range: 0 = extreme difficulty to perform activity to 4 = no difficulty).
Change of pain intensity compared to baseline (visual analogue scale)
Evaluation of pain intensity by the patient on a 100 mm visual analogue scale. 100 mm equals the worst pain.
Change of patient-reported outcome measures (PROM)
Patient questionnaire to assess the following aspects (100 mm visual analogue scale; 100 mm equals a worse outcome): pain, global and tendon-associated quality of life, daily activities, clinical global impression, mobility and satisfaction with treatment (note: not assessed at baseline)
Change of investigator-reported outcome measures
Investigator inquiry to record the perception of the physician of the following aspects (100 mm visual analogue scale; 100 mm equals a worse outcome): clinical global impression regarding the clinical severity of the tendinopathy and satisfaction with the treatment (note: not assessed at baseline)
