Abstrakt: The Achilles is a commonly injured tendon, prone to degeneration and tear. Achilles tendon treatment ranges from conservative management to injections, tenotomy, open versus percutaneous tendon repair, graft reconstruction, and flexor hallucis longus transfer. Interpreting postoperative imaging of the Achilles tendon is a difficult task for many providers. This article clarifies these issues by presenting the imaging findings following standard treatments and depicts expected appearance versus recurrent tear and other complications.
