Video Summary
In this video, the speaker discusses treatment options for chronic Achilles tendinopathy after conservative therapy and PRP injection have failed. The speaker recommends correcting any biomechanical problems and trying physiotherapy followed by shockwave therapy. If these methods do not work, the speaker suggests trying PRP injection or overdistension, depending on imaging results. Surgical options include tendon stripping for plantar adhesion or severe paratenonitis, excising nodular Achilles tendinopathy, and FHL transfer for severe tendinosis. The video also briefly mentions the use of allografts for osteochondral lesions. Another question is asked about assessing and repairing peroneal tendon tears.
