Injuries to the Achilles tendon can be classified as tendinopathy, paratendinitis and bursitis, including retrocalcaneal bursitis. The latter can be caused by a deformity of the calcaneus, resulting from a bony prominence known as Haglund’s syndrome. To prevent discomfort caused by friction or the inflammation making contact with footwear, it is advisable to wear an Achilles tendon ankle brace, such as Achillosil by Orliman.
