Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does the mechanism of formation of bony spur ( enthesophytes ) in the achilles tendon?
Answer: Bony spurs can develop in the Achilles tendon without the need for preceding microtears or any inflammatory reaction, and they form by endochondral ossification of enthesis fibrocartilage. The increased surface area created at the tendon-bone junction may be an adaptive mechanism to ensure the integrity of the interface in response to increased mechanical loads.
Output (English): yes
