I could not find tendoachilles from any reputable source. Both Stedman's Orthopedic Word Book and Stedman's Electronic dictionary say tendo Achillis.
tendo Achillis lengthening (TAL)
tendo Achillis mechanism
tendo Achillis reflex

Tendo-Achilles (?)
I am drawing a blank. Is tendo-Achilles hyphenated or is it one word?
Tendo and tendinitis are both accepted, it all depends on your doc dictating.

Many years ago, I typed tendonitis on a report and the orthopod almost pecked me to the wall and said it was "tendinitis" and that is what he wanted to see in his reports. Other docs prefer tendonitis..sooo....as far as the rule goes, spell it like the client wants it typed (they both mean the same thing).
