“…Its tendon travels inferomedially, posterior to the soleus muscle and anterior to the medial gastrocnemius muscle. The tendon crosses the calf relatively proximal, running medial from, and parallel with the Achilles tendon from the mid-portion of the calf, in the majority of cases ultimately inserting medially onto the calcaneus [6,9]. The plantaris muscle-tendon complex is a weak ankle and knee flexor and ankle invertor.…”

“…Darwinists suggest that through evolution in humans, the plantaris tendon is rudimental since human beings do not grasp with feet nor swing from trees any longer. Absence in 7-20% human lower limbs has been reported [16,17,25,55,66].…”

Chronic mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy is generally difficult to treat as the background to the pain mechanisms has not yet been clarified. A wide range of conservative and surgical treatment options are available. Most address intratendinous degenerative changes when present, as it is believed that these changes are responsible for the symptoms. Since up to 34% of asymptomatic tendons show histopathological changes, we believe that the tendon proper is not the cause of pain in the majority of patients. Chronic painful tendons show the ingrowth of sensory and sympathetic nerves from the paratenon with release of nociceptive substances. Denervating the Achilles tendon by release of the paratenon is sufficient to cause pain relief in the majority of patients. This type of treatment has the additional advantage that it is associated with a shorter recovery time when compared with treatment options that address the tendon itself. An evidence-based philosophy on the cause of pain in chronic mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy is presented. Level of evidence V.
