Abstract
This report describes an endoscopic approach for visualization and repair of heel structures potentially involved in patients presenting chronic calcaneal tendon insertion pain. Tendon-bone junction separation allows enthesis debridement. Tenodesis with a knotless absorbable anchor completes this minimally invasive surgical procedure for chronic insertional Achilles tendinopathy.
