Achilles tendon pathologies are common. It is important to distinguish the differences between tendinosis, tendinitis, tendon rupture, mechanical enthesopathy, and inflammatory enthesitis such as in spondyloarthritis (SpA). Both mechanical and inflammatory diseases lead to pathologies in the Achilles tendon.
