Imaging of the Achilles Tendon
Foot and Ankle Clinics, 2005The Achilles tendon is the most commonly injured tendon in the foot and ankle; injuries commonly are related to sports/athletic activities. Imaging modalities that are used most commonly in the diagnostic assessment of the Achilles tendon include conventional radiography, ultrasonography, and MRI.

#### Summary points Disorders of the Achilles tendon are common in active people—competitive and recreational athletes alike—but they can occur in less active people. As the largest tendon in the body, the Achilles experiences repetitive strain from running, jumping, and sudden acceleration or deceleration, so is susceptible to rupture and ...

As the number of persons who participate in athletic activity into their later years has increased, so has the incidence of overuse injuries to the Achilles tendon. The etiology of these problems is multifactorial and includes biomechanical factors and training errors.

SummaryThe Achilles tendon is the largest and strongest tendon in the body, yet one of the most commonly injured. Tendon degeneration is a relatively common disorder, predisposing to tears and often associated with paratenonitis. Numerous other diseases involve the Achilles tendon, some with classic imaging appearances, others with non‐specific ...

Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery
There are many high-level studies comparing nonoperative treatment, open repair, and minimally invasive repair for Achilles tendon ruptures. This article summarizes the most up-to-date literature comparing these treatment options. The authors' preferred protocol for nonoperative treatment is discussed.

ACHILLES TENDON AND MISCELLANEOUS TENDON LESIONS
Magnetic Resonance Imaging Clinics of North America, 1994Abnormalities of the tendons of the foot and ankle are quite common and their number seems to be increasing. Commonly involved tendons include the Achilles and peroneal tendons; the tibialis anterior and flexor hallucis longus tendons are involved less commonly. Magnetic resonance imaging is well suited to imaging these abnormalities.

Acute Ruptures of the Achilles Tendon
Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Review, 2009The Achilles tendon (AT) is the most frequently ruptured tendon in the human body, but the etiology of AT ruptures is still not completely understood. Percutaneous repair and conservative management are viable alternatives to open surgery, which carries higher complication rates and is the most costly of the 3 management options.

Acute Rupture of the Achilles Tendon
Foot and Ankle Clinics, 2005Achilles tendon ruptures are common, and their incidence is increasing. The evidence for best management is controversial, and, in selected patients, conservative management and early mobilization achieves excellent results. Surgery is associated with an increased risk of superficial skin breakdown; however, modern techniques of percutaneous repair ...

Walking on the Achilles tendons
British Medical BulletinAbstract Background The ‘walking Achilles tendon’ technique can be safely adopted when the initial percutaneous repair fails to achieve sufficient grip in the proximal stump of the ruptured tendon.
