Tendon Injury

Chronic tendon injuries do not always respond to standard care, prompting varied regenerative-medicine research.

Studied for collagen remodelling and neovascularisation.

Some case series and pilot studies exist.

Reported adverse events are mostly local — swelling, pain, or bruising at the harvest and injection sites. Infection and cell-processing quality remain the key risks to monitor.

Existing studies are limited by sample size, methodology, and follow-up, and SVF preparation differs substantially between centres, making cross-study comparison difficult.
