How it works

Concentrated growth factors (PDGF, TGF-ÎČ, VEGF) stimulate tenocyte proliferation and new collagen synthesis at the degenerative tendon attachment.

Evidence is mixed — some positive RCTs but overall inconsistent results. Expensive and not PBS-funded. Most appropriate for chronic cases resistant to 3–6 months of conservative management. Must be combined with loading exercise.
