Achilles tendinitis, also known as Achilles tendinopathy, is soreness of 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]
Achilles tendon rupture is when the Achilles tendon, at the back of the ankle, breaks. [5] Symptoms include the sudden onset of sharp pain in the heel . [ 3 ] A snapping sound may be heard as the tendon breaks and walking becomes difficult.

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 heel (where the Achilles tendon is inserted) triggers this condition.
