Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate safety and effectiveness of both a single percutaneous ultrasonic tenotomy or a single injection of LR-PRP in gluteal tendinopathy. Effectiveness will be demonstrated in a superiority trial design by comparing improvement in pain and function after a single percutaneous ultrasonic tenotomy versus a single injection of LR-PRP in refractory gluteal tendinopathy that has failed conservative management. The investigators hypothesize that both procedures will show improvement to pain and function from baseline to 24 weeks and improvement will remain at 48 weeks follow-up. The investigators propose to test this hypothesis with a series of randomized cases of gluteal tendinopathy treated with one of the proposed treatment arms and evaluate at specified intervals with validated clinical outcome measures.
