Hi All

Many therapies aim to reduce neovascularisation (which, as I was taught, occurs secondary to tendinopathies for example). Many injection therapies aim to reduce the appearance of neovascularisation under ultrasound imaging.

What are our opinion on the following article then?
http://www.orthopaedics.gu.se/digitalAssets/1381/1381266_senartikel.pdf

The article - to quote - states "in the light of recent well-performed research, it seems that detecting neovessels has no additional value for the diagnosis, no firmly confirmed prognostic value, and no proven relation with symptoms. The role of neovascularization in this field should be re-thought."

Many thanks
