New sports medicine research reported from D.S. Heckman and co-authors
2009 JUL 17 - (NewsRx.com) -- "Disorders of the Achilles tendon include both acute and chronic ruptures as well as a spectrum of chronic overuse injuries involving inflammatory and degenerative changes within the tendon and surrounding tissues," investigators in the United States report. "These injuries are relatively common in athletes as well as among the general population. There is no consensus on the optimal treatment of Achilles tendon disorders," wrote D.S. Heckman and colleagues. The researchers concluded: "The goals of this review are to develop a current understanding of the anatomy and diagnostic evaluation of the Achilles tendon, and to present current treatment options and the authors' preferred surgical techniques for operative management of Achilles tendon disorders.." Heckman and colleagues published their study in American Journal of Sports Medicine (Tendon Disorders of the Foot and Ankle, Part 2 Achilles Tendon Disorders. American Journal of Sports Medicine, 2009;37(6):1223-1234). For additional information, contact S.G. Parekh, North Carolina Orthopedic Clinic, 3609 SW Durham Dr., Durham, NC 27707, USA.
