It&#8217;s a stone&#8217;s throw away from the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Roger_Bannister_running_track\">Iffley Road track where Sir Roger Bannister <\/a>broke the four-minute\u00a0 60 years ago. For 800 years Oxford has led innovation and scientific rigor. <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Roger_Bacon\">In 1214, Roger Bacon<\/a> taught at Oxford and <em>\u201cwas instrumental in setting science on the path towards modernity, as an inductive study of nature, based on and tested by experiment\u201d<\/em>. (1) He developed the principles of experimental science in his Opus Majus, an encyclopaedia of current knowledge of the natural world completed in 1266.<\/p>\n<p>This 3rd International Tendinopathy Symposium (#Tendons2014) links scientists and clinicians. This is not a new idea. Thomas Sydenham (1624 &#8211; 1689),\u00a0 an Oxford-based physician and one of the fathers of the science of epidemiology, influenced medical teaching in Britain for centuries. He was a <em>\u201cchampion of bedside experience<\/em>\u201d and believed \u201c<em>that medical progress could best be achieved by discarding the trappings of preconceived hypotheses<\/em>&#8230;\u201d(1)<\/p>\n<p>Thus, bridging theory and practice is a tradition on the banks of the River Thames in Oxford; yesterday&#8217;s first day of #Tendons2014 provided a healthy dose of translational and basic science as well as clinical practice pearls.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Top 5 flavours of the day:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. <em>Tendon loading, tendon structure and tendon pain<\/em>&#8230; with terms like &#8216;overuse&#8217;, &#8216;normal loading&#8217; and &#8216;abnormal loading&#8217; featured in numerous talks and discussions. What causes the pain? Is there abnormal neural ingrowth into the tendon proper and if so what is the clinical relevance? Abnormal loading \/ overuse cause hypoxia, heat shock and apoptosis resulting in tendinopathy though complex and highly individual cell mediated reactions.<\/p>\n<p>Appropriate loading results in healthy tendon adaptation via <a href=\"http:\/\/bjsm.bmj.com\/content\/43\/4\/247.long\">mechanotransduction\/mechantherapy<\/a>. What constitutes normal and abnormal load remains very complex and highly individual. What is quite clear is that appropriate loading stimulates healthy cell reaction, (including Tendon Stem Cell (TSC) differentiation into tenocytes) and tendon adaptation. Good evidence exists to suggest that the normal part of the tendon reacts to loading and grows to support the abnormal \/ tendinopathic part &#8211; \u2018<em>It\u2019s about the donut, not the hole\u2019<\/em> \u2013 Craig Purdam<\/p>\n<p>2. I was surprise by the number of speakers still using the word <em>&#8216;inflammation&#8217;<\/em> without clearly defining what they mean by it or necessarily understanding its role in clinical practice. There is no conclusive evidence that inflammation play a key role in tendinopathy and I haven&#8217;t heard anything today to convince me otherwise. (<a href=\"http:\/\/bjsm.bmj.com\/content\/early\/2013\/03\/08\/bjsports-2012-091957.full\">For more on this see Rees, Stride &amp; Scott here<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>3. <em>Ultrasound Tissue Characterisation<\/em> (UTC) was the topic of a number of oral and poster presentations. <a href=\"http:\/\/bjsm.bmj.com\/content\/early\/2009\/08\/06\/bjsm.2009.061010.short\">UTC is a novel imaging modality<\/a> reporting 4 different echotypes representing different qualities of tendon structure. It is an interesting tool but with limited clinical application at the moment with certainly no link between pain and UTC structure.<\/p>\n<p>4. G<em>enetic researchers<\/em> conclude that genetic testing has little or no role in identifying talent. With respect to injury, it should be used cautiously as part of the many factors influencing (i) (tendon) injury risk and (ii) an individual&#8217;s response to training. Finally, genetic testing should never be direct to the consumer (DTC) but always through appropriately qualified clinicians or geneticists.

The lid has been lifted from the <em>&#8216;Plantaris tendon<\/em> pot&#8217;&#8230; but still a lot of steam fogging the glasses&#8230; Note that of some of the &#8216;champions of bedside (trackside!) experience&#8217; like Noel Pollock (@DrNoelPollock), Toby Smith, Lorenzo Masci and <a href=\"http:\/\/bjsm.bmj.com\/content\/45\/13\/1023.abstract\">Hakan Alfredson<\/a> are firm believers. Abberant (?) plantaris insertion complicating Achilles tendinopathy is certainly a real entity in elite Track and Field. Also, isolated plantaris tendinopathy might trigger a medial mid-portion Achilles Tendinopathy (perhaps irrespective of its distal insertion anatomy). Scraping of the ventral surface of the Achilles tendon and excision of the plantaris tendon remains one of the most prevalent surgical procedures in the British elite Track and Field cohort. Clearly the treatment approach remains speculative (no RCTs) but a clinical pearl is to put plantaris tendinopathy in your differential diagnosis when &#8216;straightforward midportion Achilles tendinopathy&#8217; is not responding to appropriate Rx.<\/p>\n<p>PS: The &#8216;donut&#8217; refers to the apparent &#8216;hole&#8217; within the donut which represents tendinopathy on an ultrasound scan. Of course there is no &#8216;hole&#8217; in reality. The\u00a0 &#8216;donut&#8217; itself represents the tendon tissue surrounding the &#8216;hole&#8217;.
