Summary:

Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 77260
  • Image ID: 52573030
  • Image stack position: 10/20
  • Plane projection: Sagittal
  • Aux modality: T2 fat sat
  • Study findings: Complete avulsion fracture of the calcaneal tuberosity with very thin osseous fragment resulting in proximal retraction of the achilles tendon from calcaneal attachment. Thickening and increased signal intensity are seen indicating underlying tendinosis. Bone marrow edema is seen in the posterior calcaneal tuberosity. Fluid in the retrocalcaneal and retroachilleal bursae are noted suggestive of traumatic bursitis. Short segment split tear of peroneus brevis tendon is seen at the level of the lateral malleolus with reconstitution of the tendon distally. Mild increased signal intensity and thickening of medial and central band of the plantar fascia in keeping with plantar fasciitis. Subcutaneous soft tissue edema and fatty replacement of the plantar foot muscles are noted. Tibiotalar Joint:  Subchondral marrow edema like signal along the medial talar dome with tiny subchondral cystic changes along the tibial plafond indicating degenerative changes. The joint space is preserved. Subtalar Joint(s):  Intact. Small fluid is seen. Talonavicular Joint:  Mild degenerative changes.
  • Modality: MRI
  • System: Musculoskeletal
  • Findings: Linear dense structure is seen superior to the calcaneal tuberosity. There is mild thickening of the achilles tendon shadow and opacification of the Kager's fat pad. Vascular calcification is seen.
