Tendon Summit Insider

by Traverse City Tendon Summit

The audio companion to the Tendon Summit Insider, our ongoing newsletter series on tendon science, evaluation, and management. The original series ran weekly ahead of the 2026 Summit, building a shared platform of understanding so conversations at the event could move past the basics and into the deeper questions that drive real progress. None of it is settled science—the nuances are meant to be debated, which is the point of the Summit itself. Now that the 2026 event has wrapped, the eight-part Summit Insider Debrief revisits each presentation, one speaker at a time. These episodes are recorded editions of the newsletter, for anyone who'd rather listen than read. The newsletter continues—covering tendon research, clinical insights, and updates from the Tendon Summit community.

  4. The Debrief: Part 1

    The Debrief revisits each presentation from our 2026 Summit, one speaker at a time. In Part I, Neal Millar makes the case that the field has underperformed on tendinopathy because it has paid too little attention to the biology—and lays out the inflammatory pathways, and emerging therapies, that...

  5. Foundational Science: Part I

    KEY TAKEAWAYS • Tendons function as multiscale load‑bearing tissues that support energy storage and release, power amplification, and force attenuation during movement. • These capabilities emerge from interactions across hierarchical levels. No single level of structure can explain tendon…
