AI Article Synopsis
- Calcification in the back of the heel (calcaneus) has multiple names, leading to confusion in medical discussions regarding conditions related to the Achilles tendon.
- Two commonly confused diagnoses are Haglund's deformity and Achilles insertional calcific tendinosis.
- The article explains how to clinically differentiate between these two conditions and highlights their distinct surgical management approaches.
Article Abstract
Calcification of the posterior portion of the calcaneus has numerous terms that refer to this pathology. Given the number of names, there can be confusion when discussing the different pathologies involving calcification at the insertion of the Achilles tendon at the calcaneus. Two of the diagnosis that can be confused with each other are Haglund's deformity and Achilles insertional calcific tendinosis. This article discusses how these 2 entities are differentiated clinically and how their surgical management is different.

Objectives: Insertional Achilles tendinopathy is a common and disabling condition. This trial aimed to determine the feasibility of conducting a parallel group randomised trial to evaluate the efficacy of heel lifts compared to a sham intervention for reducing pain intensity associated with insertional Achilles tendinopathy.
Methods: Twenty-six people with insertional Achilles tendinopathy were randomised to either the heel lift group or sham intervention group.

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.

Purpose: Multiligament knee injuries (MLKIs) involve various ligaments in the knee. Current double-bundle anatomical reconstructions of the medial collateral ligament (MCL) increase the level of technical complexity, often resulting in the establishment of numerous bone tunnels and different fixation points with additional hardware. To overcome these limitations, we proposed a novel minimally invasive nonanatomical MCL reconstruction with one tibial tunnel in the metaphysis using Achilles allograft in the MLKI setting.
