Risk factors for Achilles tendinopathy in runners - an investigation of selected intrinsic, kinematic, kinetic and muscle activity factors that are associated with Achilles tendinopathy [PDF]

, 2008
The overarching purpose of this study was to investigate the multifactorial aetiology of Achilles tendinopathy. Variables such as training and injury history, lower limb alignment, running biomechanics and movement variability were investigated.

Achilles tendon rupture preceded by normal asymptomatic imaging in a collegiate gymnast: A case report

Radiology Case Reports
Female gymnasts are the athletes that are most likely to experience Achilles tendon rupture, due to the high energy and eccentric load place on their Achilles tendon related to their sport.

A Novel Anatomical Description of the Normal Terminal Fibular Artery and the Terminal Fibular Window: Radiological Findings and Surgical Implications

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A novel anatomical description and radiological finding, related to the anatomical course of the terminal fibular artery (FibA) was recently reported. In the article, the authors found the terminal FibA to change its course, from being posterior and medial to the fibula to surface anteriorly and laterally before residing below the tibiofibular

Prevention of Work‐Related Musculoskeletal Disorders and Career Sustainability in Head and Neck Reconstructive Surgery: Integrating Ergonomics and Physical Conditioning

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Head and neck reconstructive and plastic surgery exposes surgeons to prolonged static posture, sustained visualization of a narrow operative field, cervical and shoulder loading, fine‐motor work, and extended standing. These demands create a substantial occupational musculoskeletal burden.

Expert consensus on neuro‐musculoskeletal functional reconstruction for post‐stroke spastic hemiplegia

Ibrain, EarlyView.
This expert consensus proposes a patient‐centered pathway for functional reconstruction after post‐stroke spastic hemiplegia: “patient goal–pathophysiologic component–treatment target–functional reassessment.” Treatment selection and sequencing across motor retraining, brain–computer interfaces, peripheral nerve surgery, and tendon/soft‐tissue ...

Effects of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy on Tendon Integrity, Biomechanical Strength, Matrix Remodeling, Inflammation, Angiogenesis, and Tenogenic Differentiation in Rotator Cuff Injury

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) improves tendon‐bone healing after rotator cuff injury (RCI), but its underlying cellular mechanisms remain unknown. This study aimed to explore the therapeutic effects of ESWT on RCI, with a particular focus on endothelial cells and tenocytes.

Mechanical axis correction after total knee arthroplasty alters ankle alignment but does not affect ankle function

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) restores knee function, but correction of coronal plane deformities may alter the biomechanics of adjacent joints. This study aimed to determine whether changes in knee alignment after TKA have clinical or radiological effects on the ankle.

Percutaneous repair of acute achilles tendon ruptures: The maffulli procedure

, 2013
The Achilles tendon (AT) is the strongest tendon in the human body, but despite its strength, is the most frequently ruptured tendon in the body. Ruptures usually occur between 2 and 6 cm of its insertion into the superior surface of the calcaneus, a ...

Less invasive Achilles tendon reconstruction

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2007
Background The optimal management of chronic ruptures of the Achilles tendon is surgical reconstruction. Reconstruction of the Achilles tendon using peroneus brevis has been widely reported.
