Intrafibrillar vs surface mineralization in bovine flexor tendon-derived collagen fibrils – an in vitro model of calcific tendinopathy of the human Achilles.

Calcific tendinopathy (CT) is a staged, reactive process where pre-calcific changes are followed by a calcific phase (formative, resting, resorptive) and by post-calcific remodelling in which hydroxyapatite-like deposits form and quite often resorb spontaneously. CT is most prevalent in the neck, foot and hip and within the foot. The Achilles is a well-documented site of […]
