Ultrasound imaging/guidance for insertional Achilles tendinopathy
Recent advances in ultrasound equipment allow for accurate assessment of the TBJ of the AT. The present observational study defined 5 elementary sonographic lesions of the IAT as bone spur, calcified longitudinal fissuration, intra-tendinous bony formation, tendon-bone disjunction, and fibrocartilage hyperemia. Pertinent ultrasound-guided procedures targeting the TBJ are also discussed.
