#### 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 ...

Der Orthopäde, 2000
The treatment of acute of Achilles tendon rupture experienced a dynamic development in the last ten years. Decisive for this development was the application of MRI and above all the ultrasonography in the diagnostics of the pathological changes and injuries of tendons.

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.

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 ...

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.

Achilles tendon disorders include tendinosis, paratenonitis, insertional tendinitis, retrocalcaneal bursitis, and frank rupture. Patients present with pain and swelling in the posterior aspect of the ankle. Magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound are helpful in confirming the diagnosis and guiding treatment.

Reconstruction of an Achilles tendon defect utilizing an Achilles tendon allograft
The Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery, 1996Acute ruptures of the Achilles tendon are common. Treatment for such ruptures is well documented. Treatment for chronic ruptures with a significant defect poses a surgical dilemma. The authors present the use of a tendon allograft to replace an Achilles tendon defect with a 2.5-year clinical follow-up inclusive of isokinetic testing.

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 ...

Rupture of the Achilles and patellar tendons
Clinics in Sports Medicine, 2003Certain similarities can clearly be appreciated between Achilles and patellar tendon ruptures. Both are strong tendons that transmit force bridging at least one joint of the lower limb. When healthy, both require massive forces to be disrupted, and both can be weakened through certain systemic disease processes, steroids, and fluoroquinones. Both allow

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.
