This study is for people who have chronic tendonitis of the shoulder, glute or elbow and would like to seek treatment via the TenJet device by Dr. David Berkoff at UNC Orthopedics. TenJet is a needle-like device specifically designed to treat tendinosis or chronic tendinitis and provide relief from chronic tendon pain. The device uses a pressurized, high-velocity jet of saline to remove diseased tendon tissue while keeping healthy tissue.
At your first visit to our outpatient orthopedic clinic, you will meet with Dr. Berkoff to do an ultrasound of your painful tendon to ensure you are eligible for the procedure. If you are eligible, you will fill out some questionnaires and schedule your procedure date. After your procedure, you will have 2-4 online follow-ups and will be asked to answer some surveys through email.
You will be paid $25 each after completing the 3 month, 6 month, 12 month, and 24 month questionnaires for participating in the research effort.
