简要总结
To evaluate outcomes after use of micronized amniotic membrane to replace or supplement damaged or inadequate integumental tissue in patients with "chronic" insertional or non-insertional Achilles tendinopathy that remains refractory to standard care. Outcomes between a control and treatment group in this pilot study will be used to devise a multi-center study with larger sample size.
