A pilot study testing an Achilles tendinopathy human cadaver model using intratendinous injection of collagenase.

Injection of collagenase into cadaveric Achilles tendons resulted in decreases in elasticity. Decreases were observed in tendons that received injections with both 10 and 20  mg/mL collagenase dosages. Further biomechanical and histological testing is needed to evaluate this cadaveric tendinopathy.
