TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that certain joint positions are more likely to place tensile stress on the area of the tendon commonly affected by tendinopathy, and that incorporating different joint positions during stretching exercises may exert more uniform, controlled tensile stresses on these affected areas of tendon and avoid stresshielding.

TL;DR: Load at different intensity levels and contraction types increased patellar tendon modulus whereas muscle strength seems to respond more to load-intensity.

TL;DR: Prolonged PGE1 administration produced peri- and intra-tendinous degeneration, providing a cheap, reproducible model of Achilles tendinopathy, which would allow studies of the effects of conservative and surgical management of the condition.

TL;DR: In patients with more advanced degenerative changes, the time from injury to arthroscopy was significantly longer than in patients with lesser articular surface abnormalities, and the presence of a meniscal tear was associated with a greater degree of articular cartilage damage.

TL;DR: This minimally invasive technique allows reconstruction of the Achilles tendon using the tendon of semitendinosus preserving skin integrity over the site most prone to wound breakdown, and can be especially used to reconstruct the Achilles Achilles tendon in the presence of large gap.
