Walling Save a personal copy of this article and quickly find it again with Furl.net. It's free! Save it. (Australia-Australian Family Physician, January 2000, p. 35.) The Achilles tendon has a relatively poor blood supply and a low metabolic rate. Thus, it can carry heavy loads under tension over prolonged periods without ischemic damage, but the tendon is slow to heal when injury occurs. Complete rupture usually occurs in older athletes during unusually active sports activity. The patient reports a sudden sensation in the back of the leg with or without an audible snap. The gait is limping and there may be a palpable defect in the tendon. Surgical repair is usually required. Achilles tendonitis generally develops more gradually and may be caused by repetitive stressors. Pain and stiffness are usually worse in the morning and are relieved by activity, but recur. In addition to activity, application of heat may alleviate symptoms.

Prevention Achilles tendinitis Definition Achilles tendinitis is inflammation, irritation, and swelling of the Achilles tendon (the tendon that connects the muscles of the calf to the heel). Alternative Names Tendinitis of the heel Causes There are two large muscles in the calf, the gastrocnemius and soleus. These muscles generate the power for pushing off with the foot or going up on the toes. The large Achilles tendon connects these muscles to the heel. These are important muscles for walking. This tendon can become inflamed, most commonly as a result of overuse or arthritis, although inflammation can also be associated with trauma and infection. Tendinitis due to overuse is most common in younger individuals and can occur in walkers, runners, or other athletes, especially in sports like basketball that involve jumping. Jumping places a large amount of stress on the Achilles tendon. Tendinitis from arthritis is more common in the middle aged and elderly population. Arthritis often causes extra bony growths around joints, and if this occurs around the heel where the Achilles tendon attaches to the heel bone, the tendon can become inflamed and painful.
