Damage to the calcaneal tendon would prevent the gastrocnemius from lifting the heel and plantar flexing the foot. True FalseACHILLES TENDON INJURYThe Achilles tendon, also known as the calcaneal tendon, is the conglomeration of the soleus and gastrocnemius mus...
Pain can be located in the Achiles tendon or in the calcaneal insertion of the plantar fascia (PF), is the most frequent cause of chronic heel pain. Diagnosis is clinical given by heel pain that may vary in location, although calcaneus anteromedial region is the most common point. At ...
Calcaneal edema was defined by increased signal intensity within the calcaneus adjacent to the insertion of the plantar fascia on fluid-sensitive sequences. PTTD was defined by tendon thickening, teno- synovitis or partial or full thickness tear. Achilles tendon dysfunction was defined by tendon ...
and subtalar joint incongruency. ORIF can be used to address deformities, restoring the anatomic morphology of the calcaneus, and thereby the biomechanics and function of the hindfoot. Restoring heel width prevents chronic peroneal tendenitis secondary to impingement from lateral wall blowout...
