Organizing and summarizing search results for youThe Achilles tendon is formed from the tendinous contributions of the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles, coalescing approximately 15 cm proximal to its insertion. The tendon spirals 30-150° along its course in the posterior aspect of the leg until it inserts into the calcaneal tuberosity. The tendon provides a distal attachment site for the gastrocnemius (lateral and medial heads) as well as the soleus muscles. It inserts onto the posterior surface of the calcaneus (heel bone). The plantaris tendon also fuses with the medial side of the Achilles tendon proximal to its attachment site.2 Sources
Achilles Tendon - Physiopedia
The Achilles (calcaneal) tendon is a common tendon shared between the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles of the posterior leg. It connects the two muscle groups (collectively, triceps surae) to the calcaneus. Generally, the tendon winds 90 degrees on its path towards the heel, such that the … See more

The Achilles tendon has its blood supply from longitudinal arteries which course the length of the tendon from two main blood vessels: 1. Posterior tibial artery: Which supplies the proximal and distal sections. 2. Peroneal artery: Which supply the middle section. The tendon has a generally poor blood supply throughout its length, as … See more
The Achilles tendon is innervated by nerves of the muscles from which it is formed and cutaneous nerves. the sural nerve particularly plays a major role in its innervation with a smaller supply from the tibial nerve. The nerve endings form a longitudinal plexus which supplies afferent fibres in the great majority of the tendon. The afferent … See more
