Abstract
Achilles tendinopathy is characterized by pain, impaired performance, and swelling in and around the tendon.1 It can be categorized as insertional and noninsertional, two distinct disorders with different underlying pathophysiologies and management options.2 Other terms used as synonymous of noninsertional tendinopathy include tendinopathy of the main body of the Achilles tendon (AT) and mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy. In this chapter, we give a detailed overview of insertional tendinopathy of the AT and tendinopathy of the main body of the AT.File in questo prodotto:
