Description
Jae-Yoon Baek and co-authors compare two injections for shoulder tendon tears in a 2026 study. The tears sit inside the tendon of a key shoulder muscle and cause pain and weak motion. One injection uses a skin based matrix, and the other uses a purified form of collagen. Both aim to help the tendon heal without surgery.
Records covered patients treated at one center and followed for over a year. Both groups gained in pain scores, shoulder function, and range of motion. Gains were close between the two groups across most measures. Scans at six months checked tendon healing, and both options looked like sound choices in this group.
