Abstract

The conditions affecting the calcaneal tendon remain extremely prevalent in the clinical practice. The search for information about these diseases in national and international scientific databases are commonly hampered in the use of search tools, requiring the use if an eponym in the strategy. Achilles, in to the hero of the Greek mythology, is often used by several authors in scientific publications despite the new Nomina Anatomica. Objective: This article intends to recover the history behind the use of this term, which heroically resists in the clinical discussions of everyday life in articles and textbooks. Level of Evidence V, Literature Review.
