Percutaneous Achilles tendon repair combined with real-time sonography.
BACKGROUND When encountering complaints of pain in the area of Achilles tendon with a suspected lesion, the clinician seldom reaches a precise diagnosis based only on X-ray and clinical examination. Ultrasonography is useful for evaluating the pathology and treatment. OBJECTIVES To assess the relative contribution of real-time intraoperative ultrasound examination and immediate postoperative ...
متن کاملEvaluation of normal and pathological Achilles tendon by real-time shear wave elastography.
Tendinopathy covers a range of several tendon conditions, mostly caused by overuse but at least in Achilles tendon pathology, favored by obesity, diabetes, inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. Subclinical tendon pathology is difficult to diagnose, as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations are sometimes inconclusive and not cost-effective. Elastography is an ultrasound examination meth...
متن کاملMRI Evaluation of Achilles Tendon Injuries
Introduction : Although it is the strongest tendon in the human body, the Achilles tendon is the most commonly injured ankle tendon. Clinical evaluation alone is often suggestive of the diagnosis of acute rupture of the Achilles tendon, which could be partial or complete. However, the clinical examination alone is not sufficient in all cases, and imaging can play a crucial role. Aim of the Work...
متن کاملReal-time sonoelastography: principles and clinical applications in tendon disorders. A systematic review.
Background Sonoelastography (SE) is a new ultrasound-based method adopted in an increased number of scientific reports to analyse normal and pathological tendons. The aim of this study is to provide a systematic overview of clinical applications of SE in normal and pathological tendons. Methods A systematic research of PubMed, Ovid, and Cochrane Library electronic databases was performed acco...
متن کاملEvaluation of Porcine Small Intestinal Submucosa in Achilles Tendon Repair
Background: Tendon defects remain a major concern in orthopedic surgery because of the limited availability of tendon autografts. Since the extracellular collagen-based matrix derived from porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS) has been successfully used in repair of many tissues, such as abdominal wall, vessels and bladder, we hypothesized that SIS can be used to repair an experimentally ind...
