Abstract:Objectives: The Achilles tendon, the biggest tendon in the body, transmits the mechanical force received from the body to the ankle through the calcaneus. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of morphometric characteristics of the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles that make up the Achilles tendon on tendinopathy by MRI. Methods: Foot magnetic resonance images of 128 patients (121 males and 107 females) were retrospectively analyzed. The cases were divided into two groups, the tendinopathy group and… Show more
