Achilles Tenosynovitis: Clinical Trials and Research Studies
Achilles tendon connects calf muscles to heel bone. This tendon has a protective sheath. However, the area has poor blood supply and is prone to injuries. Achilles tenosynovitis is inflammation and degeneration of sheath surrounding tendon. Achilles Tendonitis indicates degeneration of tendon. Since both conditions present similar symptoms, differential diagnosis is difficult. Nonetheless, treatment for both conditions is same.
Achilles tenosynovitis increases risk of developing a rupture or tear in Achilles tendon. This condition disrupts Achilles tendon completely. Rest, physical therapy, steroidal injections, and in extreme cases surgery absolves Achilles tenosynovitis. Follow-up care evaluates need for further treatment. Research trials employ limb symmetry index (LSI) to detect differences in limb strength in people with Achilles tenosynovitis.
