    Arthroscopic procedures produce "satisfactory results" more than 90 percent of the time.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achilles_tendinitis

    The tendon receives nutrients from the tendon sheath or paratendon. When an injury occurs to the tendon, cells from surrounding structures migrate into the tendon to assist in repair. Some of these cells come from blood vessels that enter the tendon to provide direct blood flow to increase healing. With the blood vessels come nerve fibers.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stretch_reflex

    The function of the reflex is generally thought to be maintaining the muscle at a constant length but the response is often coordinated across multiple muscles and even joints. [1] The older term deep tendon reflex is now criticized as misleading. Tendons have little to do with the response, and some muscles with stretch reflexes have no tendons.
