Abstract
The anatomical structure of the Achilles tendon causes a fibrillary echo texture with fine, parallel echogenic lines. The peritendineum outlining the tendon can be delineated. Achilles tendon ruptures can easily be detected by ultrasound, as can structural changes in achillodynia. The typical sonographic patterns of rupture of the Achilles tendon and achillodynia are demonstrated.
