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.
Endoscopic flexor hallucis longus tendon transfer with horizontal calcaneal fixation and suturing onto itself.

Endoscopic flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon transfer to replace the calcaneal tendon is being increasingly performed. The main advantage is minimisation of approach-related morbidity. Fixation of the FHL tendon is usually achieved with a tenodesis screw placed in a vertical calcaneal tunnel.

We report the results of two patients who were treated surgically using a distal ulna prosthesis stabilized by ligament reconstruction with the brachioradialis tendon. At the maximum follow-up of 18months, the two patients were satisfied.

Background: The objective of this study was to assess clinical and computed-tomography (CT) outcomes at least 2 years after humeral head resurfacing to treat concentric gleno-humeral osteoarthritis.
Hypothesis: Humeral head resurfacing provides similar outcomes to those achieved with stemmed humeral head implants.
Materials And Methods: This single-centre retrospective study included 40 Copeland™ and 65 Aequalis™ humeral resurfacing heads implanted between 2004 and 2012.
