At ITRT we are world pioneers in Achilles tendon regeneration, that is, we can create new tissue to make an injury permanently a thing of the past. For the first time ever, we have proven scientifically what we already have seen in our daily clinical experience: that tendons can have a second life.
We have clinical experience with virtually every tendon in the human body, namely the patellar tendon, the Achilles tendon and the Harmstring, to mention just a few. MRI from a 86 years-old patient is included below. He presented a frayed Achilles tendon, with a 3 cms break. The evolution of the injury after treatment him with cultured stem cells can be observed. 8 months later, the injury was virtually healed and 24 months later, the tendon was brand new and completely unlike the previously frayed tendon.
