AbstractBackground: Tendon-bone insertion (TBI) consists of both hard and soft tissues. TBI injury with delayed repair is not uncommon. High-dose extracorporeal shockwave (ESW) is effective for treating nonunion fracture, whereas low-dose ESW is used for tendinopathy therapy. The dosing effect of ESW on delayed TBI healing is lacking.
