Biomechanics of the Achilles tendon.
PURPOSE Tendons behave viscoelastically and exhibit adaptive responses to conditions of increased loading and disuse. Strain patterns in tendons may not be uniform, as tendons show stress-shielded areas and areas subjected to compressive loading at the enthesis. These areas correspond to the sites where tendinopathic characteristics are typically seen. METHOD We review the biomechanic literat...

At exploration, the mass was excised, and histopathology revealed it to be an angioleiomyoma. Tumoral masses should form part of the differential diagnosis of a subcutaneous lesion on an extremity, p...
