Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Before and after intervention tendon biopsies will be taken and analyzed for crosslinks and fibril diameter. Also tendon mechanical properties will be measured. Tendon and muscle structural properties will be measured with MRI.
Treatment satisfaction will be stated after intervention period.
