The Distal Free Achilles Tendon Is Longer in People with Tendinopathy than in Controls: A Retrospective Case-Control Study.
Objectives: The free Achilles tendon is defined as the region of tendon distal to the soleus which is "unbuttressed," i.e., unsupported by muscular tissue. We reasoned that a relative lack of distal buttressing could place the tendon at a greater risk for developing Achilles tendinopathy. Therefore, our primary goal was to compare the free Achilles tendon length between those with midportion or insertional Achilles tendinopathy and healthy controls.
Design: This is a retrospective case-control study. Setting. Hospital in Vancouver, Canada. Participants. 66 cases with Achilles tendinopathy (25 insertional, 41 midportion) consecutively drawn from a hospital database within a 5-year period and matched to 66 controls (without tendinopathy) based on sex, age, and weight. Main outcome measures. Odds ratio of the risk of developing Achilles tendinopathy given the length of free tendon, defined anatomically on MRI, after adjustment for confounders.
Results: MRI-defined free Achilles tendon length is a statistically significant predictor of having midportion Achilles tendinopathy (odds ratio = 0.53, 95% confidence interval 1.13 to 2.07). Midportion Achilles tendinopathy cases had significantly longer free tendons (Mdn = 51.2 mm, IQR = 26.9 mm) compared to controls (Mdn = 40.8 mm, IQR = 20.0 mm), p = 0.007. However, there was no significant difference between the free Achilles tendon lengths in insertional AT cases (Mdn = 47.9 mm, IQR = 15.1 mm) and controls (Mdn = 39.2 mm, IQR = 17.9 mm), p = 0.158. Free Achilles tendon length was also correlated with the tendon thickness among those with Achilles tendinopathy, rτ = 0.25, and p = 0.003.
Conclusions: The MRI-defined length of the free Achilles tendon is positively associated with the risk of midportion Achilles tendinopathy. A relative lack of distal muscular buttressing of the Achilles tendon may therefore influence the development of tendinopathy.
