This study reports the incidence of insertional calcific tendinopathy (ICT) of the Achilles tendon in the general population and the percentage of symptomatic patients. The secondary aim is to ascertain whether ICT is associated with diabetes mellitus, thyroid disorders, obesity, and hypercholesterolemia. We hypothesized that metabolic diseases increase the risk of ICT of the Achilles tendon.

Abstract
This study reports the incidence of insertional calcific tendinopathy (ICT) of the Achilles tendon in the general population and the percentage of symptomatic patients. The secondary aim is to ascertain whether ICT is associated with diabetes mellitus, thyroid disorders, obesity, and hypercholesterolemia. We hypothesized that metabolic diseases increase the risk of ICT of the Achilles tendon.File in questo prodotto:
