Description
Summary:Uniform diagnostic recipes on when to diagnose Achilles tendinopathy would be a great start.8 Identifying possible subclassifications, based on certain diagnostic ingredients, has several possible advantages: improving tailored individual treatments or better inform us a patient’s prognosis.9 We would like to extend our gratitude to WM Bramer, research librarian at Erasmus MC, for his help with developing a sensitive search strategy. Which treatment is most effective for patients with Achilles tendinopathy? A living systematic review with network meta-analysis of 29 randomised controlled trials. Can ultrasound imaging predict the development of Achilles and Patellar tendinopathy? A systematic review and meta-analysis.
