title: Ankle tendons: evaluation with CT.
abstract: Computed tomographic (CT) analysis of 21 clinically suspected ankle tendon injuries was performed in 18 patients. In six of the 21 ankles surgical exploration was done, and in one ankle evaluation was done while the patient was under anesthesia. In all seven cases the CT findings were confirmed and in three the clinical diagnosis was disproved. CT provided additional information and helped guide treatment in the majority of patients studied. Thus CT is an accurate, noninvasive modality for assessing ankle tendon injuries.
