Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz Rulmn / M / 43 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzshi / Dr. Abc Xyz. Modi.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Right Ankle.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O tear with repair of the right Achilles tendon 5 months ago.

EXAMINATION :

M.R.I of the right ankle was performed using the following parameters :

4 mm thick T1 Weighted and STIR coronal images.

4 mm thick T1 Weighted and GRASS sagittal images.

7 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted (with fat saturation) axial images.

OBSERVATION :

The right Achilles tendon is bulky and shows a few areas of intermediate signal intensity within it. This would be the result of the previous tear/repair (? use of PLA). The visualized tendon is seen to be continuous.

The visualized bone show normal configuration and signal intensity. No obvious bone destruction or erosion is evident.

No joint effusion is evident. The visualized soft tissues are unremarkable.

The left tendo-achilles is unremarkable.

IMPRESSION :

The MRI features are suggestive of a thickened but continuous right Achilles tendon and this may be the result of previous tear/repair.
