Achilles tendon disorders, including tendinopathy and ruptures, are common among competitive runners. Relatively high complication rates, recurring injuries, and the need to return to sport have led to the use of regenerative medical treatment in tendon disorders in competitive athletes. Biologic therapies, including bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) injections, have been effective in restoring injured tissue in a limited number of cases. In this case, a collegiate cross country runner with Achilles tendon pain underwent years of failed, non-surgical conservative management. The patient’s MRI demonstrated moderate distal calcaneus tendinosis with high-grade partial thickness tearing of the anterior fibers of the Achilles tendon (50% tear). The patient underwent peritendinous injection of BMAC. Post-procedure MRI demonstrated minimal tendinosis of the distal and lateral margins of the Achilles tendon, and no evidence of Achilles tendon tear. The patient followed a progressive return to running program, ultimately training 40 miles per week with minimal Achilles tendon pain.
