Achilles and patellar tendon operations performed in local anestesia

• From 20 years of research on innervation patterns and pain mechanisms in chronic painful Achilles and patellar tendinopathy, we have learned that the nerves are located outside the affected tendon. With this background we use local anestetics in combination with Adrenaline when these patients are surgical treated. We have now more than 15 years of experience in treating Achilles tendinopathy, and 10 years of experience in treating patellar tendinopaty, in local anesthesia alone. I will present the scientific background and practi-cal techniques to use local anesthesia for treatment of chronic painful Achilles and patellar tendinopathy.
