Achilles Tendinopathy

Emma Walker

Achilles tendinopathy is a clinical syndrome marked by discomfort, swelling, and decreased performance. It is one of the most common ankle and foot overuse injuries. The two primary types of Achilles tendinopathy are insertional and noninsertional tendinopathy, which are defined according to anatomical location. Achilles tendinopathy has a complex aetiology that includes both intrinsic and extrinsic causes. The tendon had a poor healing response and was showing signs of degeneration. There are three distinct and continuous stages to a failed healing response (reactive tendinopathy, tendon disrepair, and degenerative tendinopathy).
