<p><strong>Achilles Tendon Rupture: Clinical Trials and Research Studies</strong></p>
<p>Achilles tendon rupture normally affects middle-aged men who are otherwise healthy. Tendon problems occur in those who take part in sports intermittently. Ruptures are more common in the left leg above calcaneal insertion of tendon. Right-handed people normally put more pressure on the left foot when pushing off or starting with any physical activity of leg. Therefore, tendon ruptures in left leg is higher.</p>
<p>Tendon rupture generates localized pain and a burning sensation along Achilles tendon region. Swelling around tendon sheath is common. In severe cases, pain is unbearable and forever present even when tendon is at rest.</p>
<p>Tendon rupture occurs more in men than in women. This is primarily because Achilles tendon in women is across a smaller cross-sectional area than in men. Hence, less force is generated in Achilles tendon region in women during physical activity. Therefore, tendon ruptures in women are fewer than in men.</p>
<p>Tibial arteries in the leg supply blood to tendon and paratendon regions across calcaneal insertion of tendon. The calcaneal region receives lesser supply of blood in comparison to other body parts. Further, supply decreases as age advances. Tendons are stiffer and cannot stretch easily. That is why, tendon ruptures occur more in the elderly. Blood supply to younger tendons is significantly higher. They have greater tensile strength and are less stiff. Tendon ruptures in the young are very low.</p>
