An enthesophyte, consisting of calcification deposits within the Achilles tendon at its calcaneal insertion. The Achilles tendon is wider than normal, further suggesting inflammation . Enthesophytes are abnormal bony projections at the attachment of a tendon or ligament . [ 1 ]
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. Generally, this has no effect on a person ...
Osteophyte formation has classically been related to sequential and consequential changes in such processes. Often osteophytes form in osteoarthritic joints as a result of damage and wear from inflammation. Calcification and new bone formation can also occur in response to mechanical damage in joints. [5]
Enthesopathy of the pelvis likely due to ankylosing spondylitis. Enthesopathy can occur at the shoulder, elbow, wrist, carpus, hip, knee, ankle, tarsus, or heel bone, among other regions.
Calcification deposits forming an enthesophyte within the Achilles tendon at its calcaneal insertion. The Achilles tendon is wider than normal, further suggesting inflammation. Achilles tendinitis is usually diagnosed from a medical history, and physical examination of the tendon.
Calcaneal osteotomy. [6] ... Retrocalcaneal enthesophyte resection with functional Achilles tendon lengthening and buried knots. [6] References
X-ray of the foot of an 11-year-old child, showing sclerosis and fragmentation of the calcaneal apophysis. This is a sign of low sensitivity and specificity of Sever's disease, because those with Sever's disease may not have it, and this appearance is also present in feet without pain.

Exostoses are sometimes shaped like spurs, such as calcaneal spurs. Osteomyelitis , a bone infection, may leave the adjacent bone with exostosis formation. Charcot foot , the neuropathic breakdown of the feet seen primarily in diabetics , can also leave bone spurs that may then become symptomatic.
