igh-Resolution Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging o Document Tissue Repair After Prolotherapy: A Report of 3 ases

High-resolution ultrasound imaging of musculoskeletal tisue is increasing in popularity because of patient tolerability, ow cost, ability to visualize tissue in real-time motion, and uperior resolution of highly organized tissue such as a tendon. rolotherapy, defined as the injection of growth factors or rowth factor production stimulants to grow normal cells or issue, has been a controversial procedure for decades; it is urrently gaining in popularity among physiatrists and other usculoskeletal physicians. This report describes imaging of endons, ligaments, and medial meniscus disease (from trauma r degeneration). Although these tissues have been poorly esponsive to nonsurgical treatment, it is proposed that tissue rowth and repair after prolotherapy in these structures can be ocumented with ultrasound and confirmed with magnetic resnance imaging. Directions for future research application are iscussed.
