Background:

Achilles pathology is a serious and frequently occurring problem, especially in elite athletes. Recent research has suggested a role for the plantaris tendon in non-insertional achilles tendinopathy. We report on the outcomes after excision of the plantaris tendon in elite athletes.

Aim:

To assess whether or not excising the plantaris tendon improves the symptoms of Achilles tendinopathy in elite athletes.
