Abstract
There has been significant progress in our understanding of Achilles insertional tendinopathy since Clain and Baxter divided Achilles tendon disorders into noninsertional and insertional tendinopathy in 1992. In this article we specifically concentrate on Achilles insertional tendinopathy. Classically, overuse and poor training habits are considered to be the main etiology of Achilles insertional tendinopathy. This article discusses Achilles insertional tendinopathy from the anatomy of to its management.
