Select Answer to see Preferred Response
The patient has a symptomatic chronic Achilles tendon avulsion (sleeve) rupture. The radiographs show movement of the calcified/ossified tendon away from the insertion and the MRI scan reveals a chronic avulsion of the Achilles tendon from the insertion site. The heterotopic ossification shown is of the distal Achilles tendon. The rupture shown is at the insertion site and not midsubstance or at the musculotendinous junction. The studies are not consistent with the uric acid deposition of gout.
