Summary:
- Radiopaedia case ID: 9759
- Image ID: 52527741
- Plane projection: Lateral
- Study findings: On the lateral comparison view, the asymptomatic right Achilles tendon shows a homogeneous density and sharp margins. The symptomatic left tendon shows focal thickening and irregular contour due to the tendon tear with retracted edges. The dorsal fat pad (Kager triangle) is not opacified in the absence of fluid due to chronic injury.
- Modality: X-ray
- System: Trauma
- Findings: The asymptomatic right Achilles tendon is intact with a normal echo pattern. The symptomatic left Achilles tendon shows a complete tear with a gap between two edges measuring more than 30 mm. The distal tendon shows thickening and hypoechoic echo pattern favoring tendinosis.
