Management of Achilles Tendon Disorders
نویسندگان
چکیده
A case of heel pain is presented. The clinical presentation implicates the pathological processes of acute retrocalcaneal bursitis, Achilles tendinosis, partial rupture of the tendon possibly as a result of repetitive corticosteroid injection, and subsequent calf atrophy and functional disability. Finally, aspects of predisposing factors, biomechanics, pathology, and clinical management of Achilles tendon disorders are reviewed in the discussion.

RESULTS We describe our current method of peroneus brevis r...
متن کاملManagement of insertional Achilles tendinopathy through a Cincinnati incision
BACKGROUND About 10% of patients not responding to 3-6 months of conservative management for insertional Achilles tendinopathy undergo surgery. Traditionally, surgery of the Achilles tendon is performed through longitudinal extensile incisions.

متن کاملEffects of Short Term Oral Administration of Curcumin on Achilles Tendon Healing in Rats
Objective- Tendon healing, in terms of histologic and functional characteristics, is always inferior to its normal level due to the poor vascularity and low metabolic rate. Curcumin possesses anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and healing effects. This study aimed to investigate effects of curcumin on Achilles tendon experimental injury using histopathology, biomechanical and functional evaluation...
