Introduction

An additional pathology should be considered for Achillodynia differentials – the intratendinous tear (ITT) – for which we describe symptoms, ultrasound findings and co-presenting pathology.

Materials and Methods

Examinations of 740 Achillodynic patients in one specialist centre were reviewed. ITTs were defined as a clearly visualised echopoor area situated centrally and extending to, but not through the tendon periphery, with pain on palpation and no clinical findings consistent with Achilles rupture. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse differences between pathological sub-groups, and images described qualitatively.

Introduction

Numerous risk factors have been identified for patellar tendinopathy (PT), often in small population studies. The aim was to use an online questionnaire internationally to generate a large database and identify significant risk factors.

Materials and Methods

Subjects were recruited from England, Spain and Italy with the questionnaire available in all three languages, with the questionnaire previously having been validated by Morton et al. (2014) as to be suitable for self-administration. The questionnaire can be viewed at: http://patellartendinopathyquestionnaire.blogspot.co.uk/ (English), http://tendinopatiarotuliana.blogspot.co.uk/ (Spanish) and http://tendinopatiarotulea.blogspot.co.uk/ (Italian). All data was anonymised and password protected. 825 data sets were collected with 23.4% having clinically diagnosed PT.

Introduction

Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is a highly prevalent injury in athletes and non-athletes with an unknown aetiology. Genetic risk factors have been a recent focus of investigation. The aim of this systematic review was to determine which loci have been linked with mid-portion AT and could potentially be used as biomarkers in tendinopathy risk models or as preventative or therapeutic targets.

Materials and Methods

Eight electronic bibliographic databases were searched from inception to April 2015 for cross-sectional, prospective cohort and case-control studies that included empirical research investigating genes associated with mid-portion AT. Potential publications were assessed by two independent reviewers (AAC and PRJ) for inclusion and quality. Quality was evaluated using a validated scale.
