Extractions: Overview Achilles tendonitis is a painful and often debilitating inflammation of the Achilles tendon, also called the heel cord. The Achilles tendon is the largest and strongest tendon in the body. It is located in the back of the lower leg, attaches to the heel bone (calcaneus), and connects the leg muscles to the foot. The Achilles tendon gives us the ability to rise up on our toes, facilitating the act of walking, and Achilles tendonitis can make walking almost impossible. Side View of Foot Back View of Foot
Extractions: Diagnosis Diagnosis of Achilles tendonitis usually involves taking a patient history, and performing a physical examination and imaging tests (e.g., x-ray, ultrasound). Patient history includes the following: Physical examination involves palpating (i.e., feeling with the fingers) the lower leg for tenderness, swelling, nodules, warmth, and decrease in mass (atrophy). The doctor also measures active and passive range of motion of the knees, ankles, and feet, and determines the resting alignment of the ankles and feet. A Thompson test is performed to detect rupture of the Achilles tendon. In this test, the patient lies face downward on the examining table with bent knees and the doctor squeezes the back of the lower leg (calf). If the Achilles tendon is at least partially intact, this test causes the foot to flex.
Extractions: Night Splint Suspension System with Sealed Ice TM N'ice Stretch is a great splint that offers dorsiflexion treatment with cold therapy, is more comfortable than molded shell splints, adjusts easily and folds compactly. This night splint is often used for Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendinitis, Plantar Flexion Contractures and Equinus and Tight Triceps Surae. More info on N'ice Stretch Night Splints PF Night Splints The PF Night Splint is designed for patient comfort, optimal stretch and ease-of-use. It has padded straps to stabilize the foot and heel, while adjustable side straps control the different degrees of dorsiflexion. A removable wedge can be added for additional stretch. Thick foam padding reduces contact with shell, while an open calf area provides hea relief; together enhancing the overall patient comfort. Adjustable D-rings allow variable positioning for simple application and ease-of-use.

T he Achilles tendon spans two joints and connects the calcaneus to the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles, comprising the largest and strongest muscle complex in the calf (Figure 1) . The tendon is vulnerable to injury because of its limited blood supply, especially when subjected to strong forces. The most vulnerable area of the Achilles tendon is between 2 and 6 cm above the calcaneal insertion. The blood supply to the tendon is provided by longitudinal arteries that run the length of the muscle complex. The area of the tendon with the poorest blood supply is approximately 2 to 6 cm above the insertion into the calcaneus. The blood supply diminishes with age, predisposing this area of the tendon to chronic inflammation and possible rupture.

Injuries links Achilles tendonitis - the BIG Five - the 5 most common running injuries Definition : Inflammation of the Achilles tendon.The Achilles is the large tendon connecting the two major calf muscles, gastrocnemius and soleus, to the back of the heel bone. Under too much stress, the tendon tightens and is forced to work too hard. This causes it to become inflamed (that is tendinitis), and, over time, can produce a covering of scar tissue, which is less flexible than the tendon. If the inflamed Achilles continues to be stressed, it can tear or rupture. Symptoms: Dull or sharp pain anywhere along the back of the tendon, but usually close to the heel. limited ankle flexibility redness or heat over the painful area a nodule (a lumpy build-up of scar tissue) that can be felt on the tendon a cracking sound (scar tissue rubbing against tendon) with ankle movement.

The achilles tendon is the co-joined tendon of the Gastrocnemius and the soleus muscle which form the thickened tendon at the back of the leg as it inserts into the calcaneous (heel bone). This structure becomes inflamed and damaged from a variety of mechanical forces: pronation (inward tilting of the heel) or supination (outward tilting of the heel); excessive weight; over-use, such as running or tennis or other sport activities; and sometimes metabolic problems, such as diabetes arthritis or even gout can play a major role in inflammation of the achilles tendon. However, most achilles tendon problems are mechanical in nature.
