  1. ACHILLES TENDON&Plantaris Tendon Tendinosis, Paratendinosis Haglund’s Deformity

  2. PLANTARIS MUSCLE ACHILLES TENDON PLANTARIS TENDON Fig 2(2) Fig 1(1)

  3. Achilles Tendon Is the large tendon formed by the medial and lateral gastrocnemius muscles and the soleal muscle, inserting onto the Calcaneum. The Achilles tendon provides the power to ‘push off’ when walking or running. Achilles tendon long and trans-normal ultrasound appearance

  4. Two of the more commonly encountered pathologies Tendinosis and Paratendinitis symptoms and appearances compared.

  5. Demonstrating tendinosis of the Achilles Tendon and a swollen Retro Achilles bursa Retro Achilles bursitis

  6. Haglund’s Deformity possible cause of Retroachilles swelling/burstis Haglund’s deformity bursitis Fig 3(3) Medical multimedia group

  7. Retrocalcaneal Bursa. Situated between the Achilles tendon and the Calcaneum- pain similar to the presentation of Achilles tendinosis Retrocalcaneal bursitis

  8. Increased vascularity within Achilles tendon and the retrocalcaneal bursa. Increased vascularity –paratenon peritendinitis Increased vascularity within the Achilles tendon and retroachilles bursa Note:- always relax the foot when Using colour so as not to compress the vessels.

  9. An intact Plantaris tendon can cause a false impression of a partially torn Achilles tendon. Care must be taken to assess the Plantaris Tendon and to be aware that when performing Thompsons’ manoeuver- squeezing the calf to produce plantar flexion of the foot which indicates an intact Achilles Tendon that the Plantaris tendon may cause plantar flexion of the foot in a ruptured Achilles, leading to a false impression of intact Achilles tendon.
