Achilles tendon pathology is common and affects athletes and nonathletes alike. The cause is multifactorial and controversial, involving biological, anatomical, and mechanical factors. A variety of conditions characterized by Achilles tendon inflammation and/or degeneration can be clinically and histologically differentiated. These include insertional Achilles tendinopathy, retrocalcaneal bursitis, Achilles paratenonitis, Achilles tendinosis, and Achilles paratenonitis with tendinosis. The mainstay of treatment for all of these diagnoses is nonoperative. There is a large body of evidence addressing treatment of acute and chronic Achilles tendon ruptures; however, controversy remains.

Pediatric emergency medicine point-of-care ultrasound: summary of the evidence

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The utility of point-of-care ultrasound is well supported by the medical literature. Consequently, pediatric emergency medicine providers have embraced this technology in everyday practice. Recently, the American Academy of Pediatrics published a policy statement endorsing the use of point-of-care ultrasound by pediatric emergency medicine providers. To date, there is no standard guideline for the practice of point-of-care ultrasound for this specialty. This document serves as an initial step in the detailed “how to” and description of individual point-of-care ultrasound examinations. Pediatric emergency medicine providers should refer to this paper as reference for published research, objectives for learners, and standardized reporting guidelines.

“…Authors have advocated its use in the emergency department by highlighting its sensitivity, as demonstrated by its comparability to plane X-Ray in the diagnosis of ankle fracture, (Canagasabey et al 2011). Other valued features include the speed of accessing results, for example diagnosing acute Achilles tendon rupture (Adhikari et al 2012), the relative comfort of the patient with this non-invasive tool and that no radiation risks need consideration for instance when evaluating paediatric bone injury including skull fracture (Gallagher & Levy 2014) or long bone injury (Barata et al 2012). In response to these roles and opportunities, professionals are now responding by publishing guidelines and guidance for ultrasound in emergency medicine, (Laursen et al 2014, Lewiss et al 2013.…”
