Achilles tendon ruptures [PDF]
Current Reviews in Musculoskeletal Medicine, 2013 The incidence of acute Achilles tendon ruptures is on the rise. This is thought to be due to the increasing number of middle-aged persons participating in athletic and/or strenuous activity. Ruptures of the Achilles tendon can be severely debilitating, with deficits seen years after the initial incident.

Are Sport-Specific Profiles of Tendon Stiffness and Cross-Sectional Area Determined by Structural or Functional Integrity? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The present study aimed to determine whether distinct sets of tendon properties are seen in athletes engaged in sports with contrasting requirements for tendon function and structural integrity.

Computed microtomographic imaging of revascularization during healing of Achilles tendon injury. [PDF]
J AnatThis study explores the role of vascularization in tendon healing by comparing physiological and pathological angiogenesis. Using micro‐CT imaging, we identified distinct changes in vascular organization following injury, highlighting the dynamic interplay between angiogenesis and tendon pathology.

A longer Achilles tendon moment arm length is not associated with superior hopping performance
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023 Variability in musculoskeletal and lower leg structure has the potential to influence hopping height. Achilles tendon moment arm length and plantarflexor muscle strength can influence ankle joint torque development and, consequently, hopping performance.

Subcutaneous Achilles tendon rupture in an eighty-year-old female with an absence of risk factors
Orthopedic Reviews, 2010 Achilles tendon ruptures rarely occur in patients over 80 years of age. However, it is unclear what treatment, surgical or conservative, is suitable for such an Achilles tendon rupture in the elderly.

Muscular and Tendon Degeneration after Achilles Rupture: New Insights into Future Repair Strategies
Biomedicines, 2021 Achilles tendon rupture is a frequent injury with an increasing incidence. After clinical surgical repair, aimed at suturing the tendon stumps back into their original position, the repaired Achilles tendon is often plastically deformed and mechanically ...
