The effect of extra-corporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) on the albino rat tendon tissue

Abstract

Objectives: In recent years extracorporeal shock wave therapy has been reported to be useful in the treatment of a number of diseases including delayed bony union, calcifying tendinitis of the shoulder, tennis elbow, and plantar fascitis. In order to assess possible detrimental effects of this therapy on tendons and neighboring tissues a prospective study was carried out with rats. Methods: Thirty-two Wistar albino rats were equally divided into four groups. The first three groups were administered 1000 shock waves at 14 kV, 1500 at 14 kV, and 2000 at 18 kV, respectively. The fourth group included the controls. The effects of different shock waves at different power set-ups on rat achille tendons were investigated. Results: A marked histopathologic change was not observed with 1000 and 1500 shock waves at 14 kV. Mild disorganization in the leafs of collagen tissue and rare lymphocytes were detected with 2000 shock waves at 18 kV. Conclusion: Observation of histopathologic changes with 2000 shock waves at 18 kV suggest that adverse tissue changes should be considered when applying high energy shock waves.
