  • Title: Achilles tendinopathy: some aspects of basic science and clinical management.
    Author: Kader D, Saxena A, Movin T, Maffulli N.
    Journal: Br J Sports Med; 2002 Aug; 36(4):239-49. PubMed ID: 12145112.
    Abstract:
    Achilles tendinopathy is prevalent and potentially incapacitating in athletes involved in running sports. It is a degenerative, not an inflammatory, condition. Most patients respond to conservative measures if the condition is recognised early. Surgery usually involves removal of adhesions and degenerated areas and decompression of the tendon by tenotomy or measures that influence the local circulation.
