Here is a case of distal Achilles tendinopathy with calcific enthesopathy. The latter is a special type of Achilles tendon ossification that occurs distally at its insertional segment. Associated calcaneal enthesophyte is also seen in our case which is a bony proliferation that develops at the attachment of a ligament, tendon, or articular capsule onto the bone

This patient was subjected to surgery for removal of the calcaneal enthesophyte that was suspected to be the cause of chronic irritation of the distal Achilles tendon. Postoperative improvement was documented
