[Xerographic measure of Achilles tendon thickness in familial hypercholesterolemia].
The authors have applied a xeroradiographic method to the measurement of Achilles' tendon thickness in familial hypercholesterolemia. They have not found a significant increase of the thickness, unless patients with xanthomas were included. Statistical value of the method is thus contested.
