By John Foster MCSP, MACPSM, Dip Phys, PGDip H. Sci. Excessive loading of the Achilles Tendon (AT) is the main pathological stimulus for tendon degeneration [1]. A continuum model of reactive tendinopathy, tendon dysrepair and degenerative tendinopathy has been proposed [2] (You can listen to with model co-author, BJSM Deputy Editor by clicking here).

Guest blog via Professor Neville Owen
Just a quick post (it’s the weekend and BJSM editors never work on weekends). One of the pioneers of the science of sedentary behavior, Professor Neville Owen, alerted BJSM to this comprehensive paper (not open access, sorry!) – great one to bring you up to speed in this field.

‘Trochanteric bursitis’? Consider gluteal tendinopathy as a more likely diagnosis.
A commonly overlooked diagnosis of lateral hip pain is gluteal tendinopathy. The relative emphasis on ‘trochanteric bursitis’ compared with tendinopathy is likely reversed.

At surgery for total hip arthroplasty, surgeons often find major tears in the gluteus medius (Bunker […]

Congratulations to Dr Chris Milne and colleagues from all disciplines who made this a success. In a conversation with Chris I was reminded that the lateral hip pain label of ‘trochanteric […]
