Recent years have seen the development of various classifications of muscle injuries, primarily based on the topographic location within the bone-tendon-muscle chain. This paper proposes an enhanced nomenclature for muscle injuries that incorporates histoarchitectural definitions alongside topographic classifications, emphasizing the importance of connective tissue damage characterization. A detailed understanding of the distinct anatomical and histological characteristics of tendon, aponeurosis, and fascia is essential for consistent terminology.

Article Synopsis
- The review focuses on understanding the extracellular matrix (ECM) in non-cartilage soft tissues of joints affected by osteoarthritis (OA), highlighting its significance in tissue mechanics.
- A comprehensive analysis included 161 studies on various joint tissues in both humans and animal models, revealing key ECM features like component types and structural changes.
- While some ECM alterations are well-documented, many aspects remain under-researched, and comparisons between human and animal studies show both agreement and contradictions.
Reappraisal of the etymology of tendo Achillis: Achilles, the aggressor or the sufferer?

This study critically reassesses the etymology of the tendo Achillis, examining its connection to Achilles as depicted in classic epics. It challenges the interpretation by Joseph Hyrtl, first presented in the 19th century and still widely accepted, which credits Philippus Verheyen with the introduction of Achilles-related terminology in the late 17th century. Through an extensive review of anatomical publications from the 16th to the early 18th century across Western Europe, categorized into four distinct periods, this study investigates the origins of the nomenclature for the distal tendon of the triceps surae (DTTS = tendo calcaneus), including both the terminology and the narrative contexts beyond its anatomical functions.

The diagnosis and management of Achilles tendon ailments continue to be widely discussed by the scientific community. Also, the nomenclature used to describe the tendinopathic lesion in patients changed over the last decades together with the evolution in the knowledge of the physiopathology of Achilles tendinopathy, and unfortunately, through ignorance and possibly laziness, confusion still abounds. To emerge from these foggy paths, some clarifications are still necessary.
