Insertional tendonitis involves inflammation at the point where the Achilles tendon inserts into the heel bone. People with this condition often have tenderness directly over the insertion of the Achilles tendon, which is commonly associated with calcium formation or a bone spur forming just above the insertion point.
Achilles tendinitis is an overuse injury of the Achilles (uh-KILL-eez) tendon, the band of tissue that connects calf muscles at the back of the lower leg to your heel bone. Achilles tendinitis most commonly occurs in runners who have suddenly increased the intensity or duration of their runs.
Achilles Insertional Calcific Tendinopathy (ACIT) is a condition caused by the deterioration of the Achilles tendon in the heel, resulting in bone spurs. ACIT can cause heel pain in both active and inactive people and can be aggravated by activity or footwear.
Two types of Achilles Tendonitis – “Non-Insertional” and “Insertional Achilles Tendonitis.” Insertional Achilles Tendonitis affects the lower part of the Achilles where the tendon attaches to the heel bone. Non-insertional Achilles Tendonitis impacts the fibers in the middle area of the tendon above the heel bone.
Tendonitis is an acute, short-term, inflammatory problem that comes with inflammation of the tendon cells (tenocytes). Tendonosis is the chronic state of tendonitis.
Insertional Achilles tendinitis involves the lower portion of the tendon, where it attaches (inserts) to the heel bone (also known as the calcaneus). In both noninsertional and insertional Achilles tendinitis, damaged tendon fibers may calcify (harden) over time.
The precise cause is unknown, but contracture may occur due to lack of use (inactivity), scarring from an injury or burn, or genetics. Contracture may cause pain and physical deformity, such as fingers that have tightened into a curl.
Tendinitis is an acutely inflamed swollen tendon that doesn't have microscopic tendon damage. The underlying culprit in tendinitis is inflammation. Tendinosis, on the other hand, is a chronically damaged tendon with disorganized fibers and a hard, thickened, scarred and rubbery appearance.
Non-surgical treatment options for insertional Achilles tendinopathy can include stretching, strapping or taping allowing stressed muscles to rest, new shoes or shoes without a heel counter to press on the painful area, footwear with a slight heel raise, orthotic devices (shoe inserts), night splints, physical therapy, ...
Types of Achilles tendon repairGastrocnemius recession—The orthopedic surgeon lengthens the calf muscles to reduce stress on the tendon.Debridement and repair—During this procedure, the surgeon removes the damaged part of the Achilles tendon and repairs the remaining tendon with sutures or stitches.
calcaneusThe Achilles tendon is also called the calcaneal tendon. The gastrocnemius and soleus muscles (calf muscles) unite into one band of tissue, which becomes the Achilles tendon at the low end of the calf. The Achilles tendon then inserts into the calcaneus.
