Tendon and tendon-bone insertion injuries are commonly treated ailments in clinical practice that affect individuals engaged in sports and physical activities. Due to their complexity and potential for long-term disability, these injuries pose significant challenges. The field of tendinopathy is rapidly evolving, providing new insights into the mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment of tendon injuries.

In this Methods Collection, we aim to compile a series of articles on clinical, rehabilitation, nursing, and basic research related to tendon injuries and tendon-bone insertion injuries. The articles in this collection explore topics ranging from the molecular and cellular biology of tendon injury and repair to the development of novel therapeutic strategies and clinical interventions. This interdisciplinary approach is designed to bridge the gap between laboratory research and its clinical application, promoting the translation of scientific discoveries into effective clinical practices.

We believe this Methods Collection will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, and other healthcare professionals dedicated to improving the understanding and management of tendon and tendon-bone insertion injuries, thereby enhancing the quality of life for those affected by these conditions.
