    Physio Med Self Help for Achilles Tendinopathy

    Physio Med Self Help 0113 229 1300 for Achilles Tendinopathy Achilles tendon injuries are common, often evident in middle aged runners to non-sporting individuals. They are often characterised by pain in the tendon, usually at the beginning and end of exercise, pain and stiffness first thing in the morning or after sitting for long periods. There is much that can be done to both speed up the healing and prevent re-occurrence. Anatomy of the Area The muscles of your calf (the gastrocnemius and soleus) are the muscles which create the force needed to push your foot off the floor when walking, running and jumping, or stand up on your toes. The Achilles tendon is the fibrous band that connects these muscles to your heel. You may recognise the term ‘Achilles Tendonitis’ which was the previous name used for Achilles Tendinopathy. However the name has changed as it is no longer thought to be a totally inflammatory condition, but rather an overuse injury causing pain, some localised inflammation and degeneration of the thick Achilles tendon at the back of the ankle. Potential causes of Achilles Tendinopathy and advice on how to prevent it • Poor footwear or sudden change in training surface e.g. sand makes the calf work harder » Wear suitable shoes for the activity (type, fit and condition of footwear). » Take account of the surface you are exercising on and if soft and unstructured like sand or loose soil reduce the intensity / duration or take a short break or reduce any load you are carrying into smaller loads until you become conditioned to it.

Dreher, MD, S.I. Wolf, PhD, D. Heitzmann, MSc, C. Fremd, M.C. Klotz, MD, and W. Wenz, MD Investigation performed at the Division for Paediatric Orthopaedics and Foot Surgery, Department for Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, Heidelberg University Clinics, Heidelberg, Germany Background: The foot drop component of cavovarus foot deformity in patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is commonly treated by tendon transfer to provide substitute foot dorsiflexion or by tenodesis to prevent the foot from dropping. Our goals were to use three-dimensional foot analysis to evaluate the outcome of tibialis posterior tendon transfer to the dorsum of the foot and to investigate whether the transfer works as an active substitution or as a tenodesis. Methods: We prospectively studied fourteen patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and cavovarus foot deformity in whom twenty-three feet were treated with tibialis posterior tendon transfer to correct the foot drop component as part of a foot deformity correction procedure. Five patients underwent unilateral treatment and nine underwent bilateral treatment; only one foot was analyzed in each of the latter patients. Standardized clinical examinations and three-dimensional gait analysis with a special foot model (Heidelberg Foot Measurement Method) were performed before and at a mean of 28.8 months after surgery. Results: The three-dimensional gait analysis revealed significant increases in tibiotalar and foot-tibia dorsiflexion during the swing phase after surgery. These increases were accompanied by a significant reduction in maximum plantar flexion at the stance-swing transition but without a reduction in active range of motion.

For chronic Achilles tendon rupture in particular, reconstructive surgery is desirable and several methods have been described. Here we present a case of chronic Achilles tendon rupture reconstructed using the semitendinosus tendon because of the difficulty in pulling down the proximal stump to reach the distal stump and due to an insufficient margin for hooking a suture to the distal stump. Postoperatively, the patient had a fully functional tendon and resumed his normal activities of daily living. Using this surgical technique, we expect favorable outcomes in cases of Achilles tendon rupture. J. Med.

    Achilles Tendon Rupture Treated with Vacoped® Boot

    Achilles tendon rupture treated with VACOped® Boot: rehabilitation programme and exercises Information for patients from the Trauma and Orthopaedics (T&O) Team and Therapies Department This sheet is designed to give you an outline of how your rehabilitation will progress as you recover from your Achilles tendon rupture. It is only a guide and can be changed to meet your individual needs. The following time frame is a guide and may change depending on your individual progress. If you are fitted into a VACOped® Boot out of hours, please contact the William Harvey Hospital Fracture Clinic on the number 01233 616235, and provide your name, date of birth, and date of injury. We will make sure you are appropriately followed-up. What is an Achilles tendon rupture and what are the benefits of the VACOped® Boot? An Achilles tendon rupture is a break of the tendon that is at the back of your ankle and connects the calf with the back of your foot. When that tendon breaks, it affects gait and walking. In order to heal the tendon, you need both ends to be brought closer together. For that to happen, you need to have your foot pointing down (equinus position) and to have your movement restricted for the first four weeks. After that, you can start moving gently. Wearing the VACOped® Boot can help this to happen more easily. The treatment with the boot will take about nine to 10 weeks (unless advised otherwise). However, full recovery can take up to a year, so you need to be aware and sensible about your affected leg, follow the advice from the professionals looking after you, and do not push yourself too much, as there is a risk for your Achilles tendon to re-rupture.

    The Achilles Tendon Is a Strong, Fibrous Band That Connects the Calf

    40 Allied Drive Dedham, MA 02026 781-251-3535 (office) www.bostonsportsmedicine.com ACHILLES TENDON RUPTURE ANATOMY The Achilles tendon is a strong tendon that connects the calf muscles to the heel. The calf is formed by two muscles: the underlying soleus muscle and the thick outer gastrocnemius muscle. When they contract, they pull on the Achilles tendon causing your foot to point down (plantar flexion)and helping you raise up on your toes. This powerful muscle group helps when you sprint, jump, or climb. With aging and overuse, the Achilles tendon is subject to degeneration within the substance of the tendon. The term degeneration means that wear and tear occurs in the tendon over time and leads to a weakening of the tendon. Degeneration in a tendon usually shows up as a loss of the normal arrangement of the fibers of the tendon. Tendons are made up of strands of a material called collagen (think of a tendon as similar to a nylon rope with the strands of collagen being the nylon strands). Some of the individual strands of the tendon become jumbled due to the degeneration, other fibers break, and the tendon loses strength. The healing process in the tendon can cause the tendon to become thickened as scar tissue tries to repair the tendon. This process can continue to the extent that a nodule forms within the tendon. This condition is called tendinosis. The area of tendinosis in the tendon is weaker than normal tendon and is usually painful. Spontaneous rupture of the Achilles tendon can occur in patients in their third to fifth decade.

Objectives: To investigate the prevalence, origin, and insertion of accessory peroneal muscles, the prominence of the retrotrochlear eminence and peroneal tubercle, and their association with peroneal tendon tears. Methods: We examined 109 formalin-embalmed legs of cadavers from Thai donors. Accessory peroneal muscles and peroneal tendon tears were noted. Associations with peroneal tendon tears were evaluated using a χ2 test. Results: We found 48 accessory peroneal muscles comprising 13 peroneus quartus (PQ), 33 peroneus digiti quinti (PDQ), and 2 unusual muscles. All PDQ originated from the PB tendon and inserted on various parts of the 5th toe. The PQ originated mostly from the PB muscle belly and less from the tendinous part with various insertions on the retrotrochlear eminence, peroneal tubercle, cuboid, and dorsolateral surface of the 5th metatarsal base. Two unusual accessory muscles were identified, 1 coexisting with the PQ. A PB tendon tear was found in 13% of specimens. We found no association between the peroneal tendon tears and the accessory peroneal muscles, or prominence of the retrotrochlear eminence or peroneal tubercle. Conclusions: The prevalence of PQ, PDQ, and unusual accessory peroneal muscles was concordant with previous findings.
