Assessment of calf muscle constitution in chronic Achilles tendon disease using Dixon-based MRI
In chronic ATD, calf MFC was statistically equivalent (approximately 11%), irrespective of the localization of tendon damage. More severe tendon thickening and complete tears were more common in midportion ATD, and, vice versa, partial AT tears were significantly more frequent in insertional ATD.
