Should not use terms like Haglunds disease, deformity or tendinitis Calcaneal bump is as common in asymptomatic as symptomatic patients Achilles tendinosis or tendinopathy, paratenonitis or paratendinopathy are appropriate terms

Conclusion
Remember anatomy, anatomy, anatomy ..!! Anatomical peculiarities (variants, retinacula, ossicles) Tendinosis? Peritendinitis? Tenosynovitis (or Paratenonitis)? Tendon tear?
