Abstract
Patients with insertional Achilles tendinopathy have pain at the bone-tendon interface, limited dorsiflexion, pain with active plantar flexion, pain with passive dorsiflexion, and prominence of the bone-tendon junction. Patients may also have retrocalcaneal bursitis, and in severe cases, the Achilles tendon proximal to the junction may have palpable thickening, warmth, and tenderness.
