Nine randomized controlled trials examining the effects of either platelet-rich plasma (PRP), autologous blood injections, sclerosing agents, protease inhibitors, deproteinized hemodialystate, corticosteroids or prolotherapy in the treatment of non-insertional Achilles tendinosis were selected for this review. The purpose of this review was to summarize the effectiveness of various injectable treatments in the management of non-insertional Achilles tendinosis.
