Abstract

SYNOPSIS: The clinical and scientific understanding of tendinopathy has substantially advanced since the Fifth International Scientific Tendinopathy Symposium in 2019. This editorial aims to highlight some of the fantastic tendinopathy research from the past 5 years. We have selected what we consider the "best paper" for each year from 2019 to 2023, which might change how you treat tendons. Selecting only 5 papers was not easy. Did your favorite papers make the cut? Or do you think we missed some key studies? We encourage you to tell us what you think using the social media hashtag #JOSPTtendon.
