Evaluation of Tendon Achilles by MRI
Ameer Osman Ibrahim;
Abstract
The Achilles tendon is the thickest and strongest tendon in the human body. It is the major plantar flexor of the foot and contributes to the maintenance of the upright position. However, it is the most frequent site of injury in the foot because, it's located superficially.
The trauma of Achilles tendon can sometimes leads to chronicity due to the delayed diagnosis. It becomes difficult to pin point the underlying cause when multiple factors are responsible. The earliest diagnosis can be picked up by high frequency ultrasound examination and grading can further be done by MRI evaluation. The correct management can be undertaken as per the final assessment by MRI.
