Understanding hip tendon degeneration and non-surgical treatment options
Hip tendinopathy — degeneration of the tendons supporting the hip — is a leading cause of chronic hip pain in active adults. TenJet® percutaneous tenotomy offers a targeted, non-surgical solution for patients who haven't responded to conservative care.
Find a Specialist Learn About the ConditionThe hip is surrounded by several major tendons, any of which can develop tendinopathy. The location and character of your pain helps identify which tendon is involved.
Degeneration of the gluteus medius or minimus tendons. Lateral hip and buttock pain, worse lying on the affected side.
Iliopsoas tendon degeneration. Anterior hip and groin pain, often worsened by running or stair climbing.
Degeneration at the hamstring origin on the sitting bone. Deep buttock pain with sitting and forward bending.
Groin pain from degeneration of the adductor longus or brevis tendons at their pelvic attachment.
TenJet® by HydroCision offers a minimally invasive solution for hip tendinopathy by directly removing degenerated tendon tissue. The procedure is performed in office under local anesthesia, guided by real-time ultrasound.
