Outcomes of Operative Management of Insertional Achilles Tendinopathy in the Young vs Elderly.
Authors
Abstract
Insertional Achilles tendinopathy (IAT) is a common cause of chronic posterior heel pain. Surgical intervention reproducibly improves patients' pain and functional status. We hypothesized that patients older than 60 years would have similar improvements in pain and function and low rates of complications after surgery for IAT when compared to a younger cohort.
