Rev Med Liege 2015, 70(10),507-510Abstract : The pathophysiological mechanisms of tendinopathies integrate various intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Classic «passive» therapeutics have a limited action. Because of a better pathophysiological understanding of tendinopathies, more recent treatments (injections of various compounds, infiltrations of platelet-rich plasma, stem cells) would lead to a long-term healing. In case of failure of conservative managements and depending on the anatomical site, a surgical approach may be considered.
