American Association of Orthopedic Surgeons

If you are looking for the most useful internet sites on the achilles tendon this is the right place. Thus, I must tell you that the latest advancement in orthopedic medicine can be found on the American Association of Orthopedic Surgeons website. This is where I first found out about PRP injections (platelet-rich plasma) in the article: PRP effective in treating chronic Achilles tendinosis By Maureen Leahy. According to that article, PRP was successful in healing 92% of patients who suffered from severe cases of achilles tendinosis within 6 mo. I highly recommend taking a look at AAOS.org.
