TenJet Patient Testimonial

Gluteal tendinopathy is degeneration of the gluteus medius or minimus tendons where they attach to the greater trochanter of the hip. It is frequently misdiagnosed as trochanteric bursitis. The condition causes lateral hip pain that worsens with prolonged walking, stair climbing, and lying on the affected side.
Because degenerated tendon tissue lacks the blood supply needed to heal on its own, rest and conservative care alone often fail to resolve the problem long-term. A procedure that directly addresses the degenerated tissue is often necessary.
TenJet® by HydroCision is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a precisely directed, high-pressure saline stream to remove degenerated tendon tissue — without open surgery, without general anesthesia, and in approximately 15 minutes.
