A calcaneal spur (also known as a heel spur) is a bony outgrowth from the calcaneal tuberosity (heel bone). [ 1 ] Calcaneal spurs are typically detected by x-ray examination. [ 2 ] It is a form of exostosis. When a foot is exposed to constant stress, calcium deposits build up on the bottom of the heel bone.
Calcific tendinitis. Calcific tendinitis is a common condition where deposits of calcium phosphate form in a tendon, sometimes causing pain at the affected site. Deposits can occur in several places in the body, but are by far most common in the rotator cuff of the shoulder. Around 80% of those with deposits experience symptoms, typically ...
Plantar fasciitis or plantar heel pain is a disorder of the plantar fascia, which is the connective tissue that supports the arch of the foot. [ 2 ] It results in pain in the heel and bottom of the foot that is usually most severe with the first steps of the day or following a period of rest. [ 2 ][ 4 ] Pain is also frequently brought on by ...
Dystrophic calcinosis cutis is the most prevalent kind of calcification on the skin. [2] The ectopic calcified mass usually consists of amorphous calcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite. [6] Dystrophic calcification is linked to a number of illnesses, such as infections, hereditary diseases, cutaneous neoplasms, and connective tissue diseases. [7]
Dystrophic calcification (DC) is the calcification occurring in degenerated or necrotic tissue, as in hyalinized scars, degenerated foci in leiomyomas, and caseous nodules. This occurs as a reaction to tissue damage, [ 1 ] including as a consequence of medical device implantation. Dystrophic calcification can occur even if the amount of calcium ...
Calcification is the accumulation of calcium salts in a body tissue. It normally occurs in the formation of bone, but calcium can be deposited abnormally in soft tissue, [ 1 ][ 2 ] causing it to harden. Calcifications may be classified on whether there is mineral balance or not, and the location of the calcification. [ 3 ]
Achilles tendinitis, also known as Achilles tendinopathy, is soreness the Achilles tendon. It is accompanied by alterations in the tendon's structure and mechanical properties. [ 2 ] The most common symptoms are pain and swelling around the back of the ankle. [ 1 ] The pain is typically worse at the start of exercise and decreases thereafter. [ 3 ]
Haglund's deformity was first described by Patrick Haglund in 1927. It is also known as retrocalcaneal exostosis, Mulholland deformity, and ‘pump bump.'. It is a very common clinical condition, but still poorly understood. Haglund's deformity is an abnormality of the bone and soft tissues in the foot. An enlargement of the bony section of the ...
