Insertional Achilles Tendinopathy: A Randomized Trial to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Transferring the Flexor Hallucis Longus Tendon
The optimal surgical treatment for insertional Achilles tendinopathy remains unclear.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term outcome of surgical treatment by comparing the patient reported outcomes of Insertional Achilles Tendinopathy; Achilles tendon debridement, excision calcaneal exostosis, Strayer procedure, secondary repair of Achilles with flexor hallucis longus (FHL) transfer and Achilles tendon debridement, excision calcaneal exostosis, Strayer procedure, secondary repair of Achilles without FHL transfer.
