In recent years, the plantaris tendon has been implicated in the development of chronic painful mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy. In some cases, a thickened plantaris tendon is closely associated with the Achilles tendon, and surgical excision of the plantaris tendon has been reported to be curative in patients who have not derived benefit following conservative treatment and surgical interventions. The aim of this review is to outline the basic aspects of, and the recent research findings, related to the plantaris tendon, covering anatomical and clinical studies including those dealing with histology, imaging and treatment.

近年来，趾长屈肌腱被认为与慢性疼痛的中段跟腱腱病的发生有关。在某些情况下，增厚的趾长屈肌腱与跟腱紧密相关，对于那些经过保守治疗和手术干预仍未获益的患者，手术切除趾长屈肌腱已被报道为一种有效的治疗方法。本文旨在概述趾长屈肌腱的基本方面和最新研究结果，包括解剖学和临床研究，涉及组织学、影像学和治疗等方面。
