Achilles tendon tenorraphy: at US evaluation, Achilles tendon (calipers) appears hypoechoic, patchy (dot circle) and thick; surgical suture is present (*).
Worthnoting, the EUS exam (left panel) shows an oedematous area (arrows) at the tear site, which indicate that the scar tissue is not strong enough to withstand load. Patchy Achilles tendon appears as a mixture of blue, green, red and yellow areas.
