OBJECTIVE: To ascertain whether there is an association between tendinopathic and ruptured Achilles tendons, hypothesizing that the histopathological aspects of tendinosis in tendinopathic tendons are less advanced than those found in ruptured Achilles tendons. METHODS: This was a comparative cohort study at a university teaching hospital. Histological examination was performed using hematoxylin and eosin and alcian blue/periodic acid-Schiff stained slides. The slides were interpreted using a semiquantitative grading scale assessing fiber structure, fiber arrangement, rounding of the nuclei, regional variations in cellularity, increased vascularity, decreased collagen stainability, hyalinization, and glycosaminoglycan. We calculated a patho...
