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.
