“…Neovascularization with thick walls, a tortuous appearance and small lumen ventral from the Achilles tendon and in the paratenon is found in 50-88% of symptomatic tendons but not in pain-free tendons [128,129] ; these blood vessels are accompanied by sensory neonerves [130,131] causing an increase in pain signaling by producing nociceptive substances such as glutamate, substance P, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) past the critical threshold [132,133] . Myofibroblasts proliferate and are transported by the new blood vessels into the peritendineum and the tendon proper [16,30] . Myofibroblasts synthesise abundant amount of collagen to repair the tendon causing also the formation of scar tissue around the tendon: consequently adhesions of the paratenon onto the Achilles tendon can be found at the location of the neurovascular ingrowth.…”
