AbstractPatellar tendinopathy is a common cause of limitations in daily life activities in young and/or active people. The patellar tendon consists of a complex of collagen fibers; therefore, collagen could be used as a scaffold in the treatment of patellar tendinopathy. To evaluate the healing capacity of injected atelocollagen as a treatment scaffold for patellar tendon defect and, hence, its potential for the treatment of patellar tendinopathy. Controlled laboratory study. After receiving a full-thickness patellar tendon defect, 24 New Zealand White rabbits were divided into a control group (without treatment) and an experimental group that received an atelocollagen injection into the defect. Six rabbits from each group were subsequently used for either histologic scoring or biomechanical testing. The Mann-Whitney test was used to compare histologic evaluation scores and load to failure between the 2 groups. Statistical significance was set at < .05. The experimental group showed excellent repair of the damaged patellar tendon and good remodeling of the defective area. In contrast, the control group showed defective healing with loose, irregular matrix fibers and adipose tissue formation. A statistically significant difference was found between the 2 groups in both histologic scores and biomechanical tests at postoperative week 12. Injection of atelocollagen significantly improved the regeneration of damaged patellar tendons. Atelocollagen gel injections could be used to treat patellar tendinopathy in outpatient clinic settings.
