Aşil Tendonu Neden Kopar?

Aşil tendonu vücudumuzdaki en güçlü tendondur. Aşil tendonu genellikle sportif aktivitelere bağlı yaralanmalar sonucu ayak ve ayak bileği bölgesinde en sık hasarlanan tendondur. Aşil tendon rüptürü genellikle orta yaş grubunda, masa başı çalışan erkeklerde sportif aktiviteler sırasında meydana gelir. Aşil tendon rüptürünün neden meydana geldiğine dair çeşitli hipotezler ortaya atılmıştır. Ancak kopma mekanizması tam olarak açıklanamamıştır. Muhtemelen pek çok faktörün biraraya gelmesiyle meydana gelen bir durumdur. Bu çalışmamızda tendon kopmasına yol açtığı ileri sürülen hipotezler topluca ele alınmıştır

Why The Achilles Tendon Ruptures?

Achilles tendon is the most strongest tendon in the body. Achilles tendon is the most commonly injured tendon in the foot and ankle, with injuries commonly related to sports/athletic activities. Achilles tendon rupture usually occurs in middleaged men working in a white-collar profession during sports activities. Various hypotheses have been put forward as to why the Achilles tendon ruptures. But the etiology of tendon rupture remains unclear. The etiology of Achilles tendon rupture is likely to be multifactorial. In this study, it puts forward the hypothesis that lead to tendon rupture are discussed collectively
