| Return to Play | Number of days required for a patient to resume full, unrestricted, and asymptomatic participation in sports following the injection. | Up to 1 year |
| VAS Pain Scale | Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores will be collected and analyzed at the following time points: immediately post-procedure, 24 hours, 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 1 year after the procedure. The Visual Analog Scale is a pain measurement to be obtained from the patient that ranges from 0 (no pain at all) to 10 (worst pain you can ever imagine). | Up to 1 year |
