2. Thompson test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thompson_test

   Recent research has indicated that while the test is an accurate detector of achilles rupture, it is unable to distinguish between partial tear (tear of the gastrocnemius or soleal portion only) and a complete tear of both portions. [4] Complete tear of achilles tendon in ultrasound with Simmonds' test

3. Achilles tendon rupture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achilles_tendon_rupture

   Achilles tendon rupture seen on ultrasound. Note discontinuity over several centimeters (red line). No fracture or avulsion (radiograph). Ultrasonography can be used to determine the tendon thickness, character, and presence of a tear. It works by sending harmless high frequencies of sound waves through the body.

4. Achilles tendon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achilles_tendon

   Achilles tendon degeneration (tendinosis) is typically investigated with either MRI or ultrasound. In both cases, the tendon is thickened, may demonstrate surrounding inflammation by virtue of the presence of paratenonitis, retrocalcaneal or retro-achilles bursitis .

5. Acoustoelastography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustoelastography

   Acoustoelastography is an ultrasound technique that relates ultrasonic wave amplitude changes to a tendon's mechanical properties. [ 1 ] See also the page on the acoustoelastic effect .

6. Calcaneal spur - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcaneal_spur

   A posterior calcaneal spur develops on the back of the heel at the insertion of the Achilles tendon. [3] An inferior calcaneal spur consists of a calcification of the calcaneus, which lies superior to the plantar fascia at the insertion of the plantar fascia.

7. Haglund's syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haglund's_syndrome

   It is also known as retrocalcaneal exostosis, Mulholland deformity, and ‘pump bump.' It is a very common clinical condition, but still poorly understood. Haglund's deformity is an abnormality of the bone and soft tissues in the foot. An enlargement of the bony section of the heel (where the Achilles tendon is inserted) triggers this condition.

   Achilles tendon tightness is a risk factor for plantar fasciitis. It can lead to decreased dorsiflexion of the foot. Heel bone with heel spur (red arrow) Thickened plantar fascia in ultrasound. Plantar fasciitis is usually diagnosed by a health care provider after consideration of a person's presenting history, risk factors, and clinical ...
