Contact Us The Anatomy of the ankle including ankle sprains, plantar fasciitis, achilles tendon problems, shin splints (anterior compartment syndrome), osteochondritis dessicans, tendocalcaneal bursitis, and tarsal tunnel syndrome. The Ankle and Foot The ankle joint is consists of three bones: The tibia- forms the inside or medial, portion of the ankle, The fibula- forms the lateral or outside portion of the ankle The talus- which forms the lowermost bone of the ankle joint Under the ankle joint is the second part of ankle, the subtalar joint, consisting of; The talus on top, The calcaneus, on the bottom. The ends of the bones in these joints are protected by articular cartilage. The major ligaments of the ankle are the anterior tibiofibular ligament, which connects the tibia to the fibula, and lateral collateral ligaments, which attach the fibula to calcaneus and give the ankle lateral stability. Also, on the medial side of the ankle, the deltaoid ligaments connect the tibia to the talus and calcaneus and provide medial stability. The various elements coordinate to manage the workload as you walk, run, and jump. Next in line, is a group of bones known as the tarsal bones, which operate in a complex and highly functional way. When the foot is twisted in one direction by the muscles of the foot and leg, these bones lock together and form a rigid structure. When they are twisted in the opposite direction, they unlock and allow the foot to instantly adapt to the surface it is negotiating. The tarsal bones are connected to the 5 long bones of the foot called the metatarsals. The phalanges are the bones of the toes. The joints between the metatarsals and the first phalanx is called the metatarsal phalangeal joint. These form the ball of the foot. The big toe is the hallux and serve the critical toe in walking.

Home Page Achilles Tendonitis (Achilles Tendinopathy) Achilles tendonitis is the bane of many runners. You should not allow this to turn into a chronic and troubling malady leading to moans about how it will never end, contributing to roadsides strewn with air cushioned clad runners all with ice packs attached to their heels. First, we will review some basic information about the achilles tendon. The achilles tendon is the connection between the heel and the most powerful muscle group in the body. This has long been known as a site prone to disabling injury. Forces up to 12 times body weight (9kN) may arise during sprinting. This tendon is named after Achilles, who according to myth was protected from wounds by being dipped in a magical pond by his mother. She held him by the heel, which was not immersed, and later died by an arrow wound in his heel. Although obviously, injuries to this area must have been known for more than 2,000 years, it was first reported in the medical literature by Ambroise Paré only 400 years ago. The achilles tendon joins three muscles: the two heads of the gastrocnemius and the soleus. The gastrocnemius heads arise from the posterior portions of the femoral condyles. The soleus arises from the posterior aspect of the tibia and fibula.

Achilles Tendon Injuries The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in the body and connects the calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus) to the rear part of the heel bone (calcaneus). This tendon transfers the power of the calf muscles to the heel allowing one to rise up on the toes and push off with the toes. Injuries of the Achilles tendon range from acute and chronic tendonitis to partial and complete ruptures. In acute and sub-acute(2-6 weeks duration) Achilles tendonitis, the tendon is not torn but is inflamed. The tendon area may be swollen, red and painful to the touch. Often, there is pain when the athlete first rises in the morning but dissipates once the tendon is warmed-up during the day. If the tendon continues to be used, microtears occur which heal with scar tissue which is not as elastic nor is as strong as the original tissue. As the injury becomes chronic, adhesions begin to develop between the tendon sheath and the tendon which can permanently change the anatomy of the area. The athlete may feel a crackling or grinding sensation while rubbing the tendon or while lightly pinching the tendon when the foot is moved up and down. The Achilles can withstand a force of 1000 pounds without tearing. Despite its tremendous strength, the Achilles tendon is the second most frequently ruptured tendon in the body. Most ruptures occur about two to three inches from where the tendon inserts on the heel bone. This area is the narrowest part of the tendon and has the poorest blood supply. (Tears may also occur in the belly of the gastrocnemius muscle.) Ruptures occur most often in the "weekend warrior" ages 20 to 50. The most common mechanism of injury is a quick and powerful toe off and flexion of the foot, as in sprinting.

86. Achilles Tendonitis Achilles Tendinitis. Achilles tendinitis is probably more common in other sports suchas basketball but it does affect runners so it warrants a discussion here. http://www.spinalhealth.net/inj-ach.html

Achilles Tendinitis I n Greek mythology, Achilles was a mighty warrior who was said to be indestructible. You see, as a child he'd been picked by the gods to be a great warrior and they'd protected him by dipping him in a river and this ceremonial dipping was said to have left him impenetrable to his enemies' weapons. As the story goes, Achilles was eventually brought down by an arrow that pierced his heel and later lead to his death. Apparently when the gods had dipped him in the river, they held onto his heel and that was the only part of his body that was not protected by the water. From this tale we get the term "Achilles Heel" which refers to a person's weak spot. It's also the name of the large tendon on the back of the calf that joins the calf muscles to, you guessed it, the heel. A chilles tendinitis is probably more common in other sports such as basketball but it does affect runners so it warrants a discussion here. It's another easy condition to treat if caught early and it's usually do a runner neglecting to do both of the calf stretches talked about below. The Anatomy images T he Achilles tendon is an enormous tendon that joins the calf muscles ( Gastrocnemius and Soleus ) to the heel to allow us to stand on our toes, jump, push off during running, etc. You'll notice I mentioned two calf muscles. The gastroc is the outer calf muscle and it's the one that's visible when we stand on our toes. The soleus is a deeper, postural muscle. The gastroc crosses over the knee joint a bit so it's stretched when the knee is straight and the soleus doesn't cross the knee joint so it's stretched with the knee bent. For diagrams and photos of both stretches please see

Contact Us Site Navigation Pull-down Home Information and Articles Web Store Newsletter Signup Fun and Games Contests Signup News - Health News - Sports Links Menu Webmasters - Free Content Webmasters - General Webmasters - Link to Us Achilles Tendonitis The Achilles tendon has 2 major functions during running. The calf muscles (1) lower the forefoot to the ground after heel strike; and (2) raise the heel during "toeing off". Achilles tendonitis is caused by a force on the tendon greater than its inherent strength. Most runners land on their heels with their forefoot still 2 in from the ground. Running fast and up and down hills places extra force on the Achilles tendon. During downhill running , the forefoot strikes the ground with greater force than on level ground, since it drops further and has more distance to accelerate. During uphill running , the heel is much lower than the forefoot, so it takes a much greater force by the calf muscles to raise the heel before toeing off. A soft heel counter allows excessive movement of the heel in the shoe. The rear foot is not as stable and the Achilles tendon has to pull on a wobbly insertion. This places uneven force on the tendon and increases its chance of being torn.

This month I am writing about something very dear to my heart – lower leg pain. Shin and calf pain is extremely common in runners and can be quite a challenge to treat. Such injuries can often plague a runner for several months and cause a lot of frustration as they can be slow to settle. It is advisable to seek expert help early so that a correct diagnosis can be made and treatment started promptly. The lower leg is composed of two bones - the tibia and fibula - and four muscle compartments. The compartments are bound by a strong tissue called fascia. Cross section through the lower right leg (looking down towards foot) Runners who develop shin pain which is brought on by exercise often complain of "shin splints". This is not a very specific term and should be avoided if possible. There are several different conditions which can cause shin pain and, for the physiotherapist or sports medicine specialist, differentiating between these is the key to the right treatment. Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (MTSS) Tibial Stress Fracture Stress fractures are "overuse" injuries of bone to the point of mechanical failure. A repetitive strain, secondary to the loading which occurs during running, causes bone trauma on a microscopic scale and, if not identified early, this can progress to a stress fracture. As with

Prevention Achilles tendonitis Definition: Inflammation of the Achilles tendon (the tendon that connects the muscles of the calf to the heel). Alternative Names: Tendonitis of the heel Causes, incidence, and risk factors: There are two large muscles in the calf, the gastrocnemius and soleus, that generate the power for pushing off with the foot or going up on the toes. The large Achilles tendon connects these muscles to the heel. These are important muscles for walking. This tendon can become inflamed, most commonly with overuse or arthritis, although inflammation can also be associated with trauma and infection. Tendonitis secondary to overuse is most common in younger individuals and can occur in walkers, runners or other athletes, especially in sports involving jumping like basketball. Jumping places a large amount of stress on the Achilles tendon. Tendonitis from arthritis is more common in the middle aged and elderly population. Arthritis often causes extra bony growths around joints, and if this occurs around the heel where the Achilles tendon inserts on the heel bone, then the tendon can become inflamed and painful.

The Achilles tendon is the large tendon at the back of the ankle. It connects the large calf muscles (Gastrocnemius and Soleus) to the heal bone (calcaneus). This tendon can become inflammed through overuse as well as a number of contributory factors. It is estimated that 11% of all running injuries can be due to Achilles tendinitis. The Achilles tendon has a poor blood supply which is why it is slow to heel. Achilles tendinitis can be acute or chronic. Acute tendinitis will happen as a result of overuse or training too much, too soon especially on hard surfaces or up hills. If your feet roll in when you run or overpronate then this can increase the strain on the Achilles tendon because the tendon is twisted as the foot rolls in. If the warning signs of Achilles tendinitis are ignored or it is not allowed to heal properly then the injury can become chronic. Chronic Achilles tendinitis is a difficult condition to treat. The pains experienced during the acute phase of the injury tend to disappear after a warm up but return when training has stopped. Eventually the injury gets worse and worse until it is impossible to run.
