| Core Tip |
Spur fractures were frequently identified in patients with insertional Achilles tendinopathy, more commonly among men. Cases with spur fractures had a longer mean spur length. A spur length of 9.0 mm demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity for predicting spur fractures. Spur fractures may require surgical intervention due to their nature as stress fractures caused by sustained traction forces from the Achilles tendon on the spur. |
