Calcaneal tendon injuries are extremely common in the general population and in orthopedics routine care. Its increasing incidence, which is motivated by an aging population, improved access to the health care system, increased prescription of continuous-use medication, erratic participation in sports and other factors, has had a direct impact on society. Consolidated treatment options for tendinopathies lack quality scientific support for many modalities. New therapies have emerged to enhance nonsurgical approach outcomes and to reduce the number of patients requiring surgery. Although these operative procedures provide good pain relief and functional outcomes, they are costly and may lead to complications.
跟腱损伤在普通人群和骨科常规治疗中极为常见。其发病率不断上升，这是由人口老龄化、医疗保健系统可及性提高、连续使用药物处方增加、运动参与不规律以及其他因素推动的，对社会产生了直接影响。对于肌腱病的综合治疗选择，许多治疗方式缺乏高质量的科学支持。新的治疗方法已经出现，以提高非手术治疗的效果，并减少需要手术的患者数量。尽管这些手术操作能有效缓解疼痛并改善功能，但成本高昂且可能导致并发症。
