Objective; The purpose of this study is to determine the effect between atelocollagen injection and admission treatment on the acute treatment effect in military patients diagnosed with patellar tendinitis.
Method; A prospective study was conducted with a total of 75 patients diagnosed with grade 1 or 2 patellar tendinitis through ultrasound examination. It was classified in to 3 groups. Group 1 underwent conservative treatment through outpatient office. Group 2 and 3 were admitted to the hospital, and the same level of conservative treatment was performed. Group 3 was additionally treated with atelocollagen injection on the day of admission. Clinical symptom changes were confirmed by VAS pain scoring system at the start of treatment and after 6 weeks.
Result; There was no symptom improvement in the group that received conservative treatment through outpatient office. Conservative treatment in hospitalization was confirmed to be meaningful in symptom improvement in all groups, However, no difference in treatment effect could be confirmed depending on whether or not atelocollagen injection treatment was performed in acute patellar tendinitis.
Conclusion; The effect of collagen injection is limited in the acute treatment of patellar tendinitis in military patients, and it was confirmed that conservative therapy are effective while in the hospital.
