Outcomes of Revision surgery for surgically treated insertional Achilles tendinopathy.
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg
December 2024
Introduction: There is a clear roadmap for the treatment of primary insertional Achilles tendinopathy (IAT), but data on the outcome of revision surgery is missing. The current study aimed to analyze the outcome following revision surgery for surgically failed IAT.
Material And Methods: Included were patients with IAT revision surgery at a single reference center (01/2010-10/2016) and a follow-up of at least 12 months.
Background: Electromagnetic field therapy is gaining attention for its potential in treating bone disorders, with Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT) emerging as an innovative approach. EMTT offers a higher oscillation frequency and magnetic field strength compared to traditional Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy, showing promise in enhancing fracture healing and non-union recovery. However, the mechanisms underlying these effects remain unclear.

Article Synopsis
- This study analyzes the distribution and types of benign and malignant lesions in the hindfoot and ankle over a 12.5-year period, showing that the majority of cases (81.9%) were soft tissue lesions, with a smaller portion being osseous lesions (18.1%).
- Of the reviewed cases, 77 were benign and 9 were malignant, leading to an overall malignancy rate of 8.6%, with malignant cases seen primarily in older patients (mean age of 59.2 years).
- The findings emphasize the importance of accurate imaging and pathology assessment, as benign lesions are more common but malignant tumors can present similarly and should be taken seriously, especially in ambiguous cases
