[Radiological findings in traumatic lesions of the achilles tendon (author's transl)].
Xeroradiography fits particularly well in the study of the soft tissues and given better results than traditional radiographs. Traumatic pathology of the Achille's tendon has been studied. Usually the lateral projection both of the affected and the unaffected sides is enough. In some cases xeroradiographs are made with the foot both in hyperflexion and in hyperextension. Cases with partial or complete fracture of the Achille's tendon are described as well as cases with nodular tendinitis or tendinosis, as a sequela of traumatic lesions of the tendon. Finally the findings of the surgical reconstruction of the tendon are discribed.
