Article Synopsis
- Insertional Achilles tendinopathy (IAT) is primarily caused by mechanical overload, with running and obesity as key risk factors; while surgery may be necessary, the best surgical approach remains debated.
- The study hypothesizes that endoscopic surgery will lead to quicker functional recovery and faster return to sports compared to traditional open surgery methods.
- Results show that patients who underwent endoscopic surgery returned to sports significantly faster than those who had open surgery, but long-term outcomes appear similar for both methods, suggesting endoscopic calcaneoplasty is effective yet requiring further research for long-term validation.

Outside France, there have been ACL registries for 20 years now. The French Arthroscopy Society (SFA) decided to set up an ACL tear registry within its SFA DataLake registry platform.
