“…A reduction in activities is required for symptomatic relief. The precipitating sport involves running on hard surfaces that provide no impact absorption (Chu et al 2012 ;Wiegerinck et al 2012 ). Load reduction and calf muscle strengthening may help somewhat to reduce pain.…”

“…19 Other studies like "Ultrasound-guided injection treatment of retrocalcaneal bursitis" done by Chu et al are already there in the literature. 20 But studies to find out the effect of ultrasound (US)-guided injection of long-term steroid in retrocalcaneal bursa on Achilles tendinitis specifically in respect to preprocedural MRI findings are not available at present.…”

Chronic posterior heel or ankle pain most commonly results from the pathology of the Achilles tendon, its insertion into the calcaneum, or the two associated bursae. Achilles tendinitis or tendinopathy, a very common clinical syndrome, primarily resulting from overuse injuries is often associated with retrocalcaneal bursitis. The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of ultrasound-guided steroid injection at retrocalcaneal bursa in cases of Achilles tendinitis and to correlate its clinical outcome with preprocedural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) grading. Sixty-nine patients with clinically and MRI proven Achilles tendinitis were included in the study. MRI findings of tendinitis were graded according to severity. Each patient received an ultrasound-guided injection of 40 mg of methylprednisolone and 1-2 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine into the retrocalcaneal bursa. The outcome was determined and was evaluated in relation to the preprocedural MRI findings. Fifty-seven patients reported at least some relief of symptoms after a follow-up period of 6 months while 12 patients showed no improvement. Shorter duration of symptoms and minor grade MRI findings were associated with complete resolution. Ultrasound-guided steroid injection in retrocalcaneal bursa may be of benefit in the short-term management of clinically and MRI proven Achilles tendinitis.
