Researchers have found in a new study that the one-stage microsurgical reconstruction method for open Achilles tendon defects ...

The gastrocnemius muscle, medial malleolus, and calcaneal tendon — it’s all highlighted on the sock. There are two reasons for the intricate anatomical design. First, it’s next to impossible ...

An approximately 1.5mm long and 0.5mm width transverse incision was performed at 5mm from the calcaneus in Achilles tendon for NOD/SCID immunodeficient mice. Total 50,000 human CD29+/CD56+ myogenic ...

2 Treatment algorithms suggest that after conservative treatment has been exhausted surgical intervention may consist of resection of the offending calcaneal spur and tendon debridement.

The functional importance of the long head of the biceps tendon remains a source of debate. However, with the current biomechanical and clinical evidence, I do not believe the biceps tendon is ...

Tendinitis, also known as tendonitis, is the inflammation of a tendon. It usually occurs when a person overuses or injures a tendon during physical activity. Tendons are cable-like tissues that ...

Tendons are tough, inelastic bands of connective tissue formed of a dense, highly organized matrix of parallel collagen fibres that is maintained by resident tenocytes. Tendons attach skeletal ...

This typically happens in the back of the heel where the Achilles tendon connects the calf to the heel bone. The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in the body, which runs down the back of your ...

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 ...
