[Xerography in the study of Achilles paratendinopathies and tendinopathies].
The authors report their experience in the examination of Achilles tendon, performed with xeroradiography, in 120 young men, affected by Achilles tendon diseases caused by sports. With xeroradiography it is possible to diagnose tendinosis with peritendinitis and pure tendinosis not revealed by clinical examination; radiological diagnostic contribution is particularly important in partial and old ruptures. The necessity is remarked to employ xeroradiography in association with ultrasound to correctly classify the various forms of Achilles tendinopathies and paratendinopathies.
