AmnioFix® is composed of a natural membrane that provides anti-inflammatory growth factors for enhanced soft tissue healing.

For varying anatomical reasons, the Achilles tendon is subject to tendinosis, insertional enthesitis and intrasubstance tears with tendinopathy.

Injectable, micronized dehydrated human amnion/chorion membrane (AmnioFix®, MiMedx, Marietta, GA) delivers essential growth factors and extracellular matrix proteins, collagen, and reduces Inflammation.

A previous study in patients with plantar fasciitis has shown that treatment with AmnioFix® improves functional rates and subjective pain scales from enhanced soft tissue healing.

Injection of micronized amnion/chorion membrane (AmnioFix®) appears effective for the treatment of Tendoachilles musculoskeletal anomalies including insertional enthesopathy, tendinosis with tendinopathy of the critical zone.
