Review[Tendinopathies of the Lower Extremities in Sport--Diagnostics and Therapy].
Tendinopathies are frequently the cause of chronic, load-dependent complaints of the lower extremity. Commonly, the large tendons of the ankle and knee joints are affected, especially the Achilles and patellar tendons. Repeated overuse in sports and/or daily activities is assumed as the aetiology. ⋯ A combination with physical therapy interventions can be useful. In cases of a more severe pathology and long-standing complaints multimodal therapeutic options should be employed. The use of surgical treatment procedures should only be taken into account in case of failed response to conservative treatment.

Case Reports[Osteochondritis Dissecans of the Talus with Hindfoot Malalignment--Autologous Matrix-Induced Chondrogenesis with Lateral Calcaneal Distraction Osteotomy in an Internationally Successful Young Female Ski Racer].
Osteochondritis dissecans of the talus (ODT) describes a special entity of osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT). In the case of an advanced stage or failure of conservative treatment, a wide variety of surgical treatment strategies for osteochondral defects of the ankle have been described. In most cases, the ODT leads to a loss in sports time and competition. ⋯ The following case report describes a positive course after an autologous matrix-associated chondrogenesis (AMIC) combined with a lateral calcaneal distraction osteotomy. At this time the athlete is reintegrated in elite sports and takes part in the normal training programmes.
