Achillodynia (Achilles tendon pain) is a significant source of disability to many people taking part in sports. Papers in the English language published since 1986 are reviewed here, grouped into specific subject areas including biomechanics, pathology, general clinical presentations, experimental treatments, steroids, podiatry and surgery. While there has been no dramatic breakthrough in the field, there have been various interesting advances with particular reference to imaging and conservative management, which will hopefully stimulate further studies. Many problems of Achilles tendon lesions in athletes remain unsolved, however, and much is yet to be done to provide adequate and generally effective methods of prevention and conservative treatment.
跟腱疼痛是许多参加体育运动的人的一个重要致残原因。本文回顾了自1986年以来发表的英文论文，这些论文分为特定的主题领域，包括生物力学、病理学、一般临床表现、实验性治疗、类固醇、足病学和外科手术。虽然该领域没有重大突破，但在成像和保守治疗方面有各种有趣的进展，有望激发进一步的研究。然而，运动员跟腱损伤的许多问题仍未解决，在提供充分且普遍有效的预防和保守治疗方法方面仍有许多工作要做。
