Article Synopsis
- The study investigates a new, minimally invasive technique for releasing the plantaris tendon (PT) using ultrasound guidance, which could improve treatment for Achilles region pain without traditional surgery.
- Conducted on 20 unembalmed cadaveric specimens, the procedure was completed successfully with a small incision and without causing damage to surrounding tissues.
- The results indicate that this technique is safe and effective, suggesting further research is needed to explore its clinical applications.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the hypothesis that different movements between the plantaris tendon (PT) and the Achilles tendon (AT) could be linked to Achilles tendinopathy pain.
- It uses dynamic ultrasound and dissection methods to document and analyze the motion of these tendons in 20 unembalmed cadaver specimens.
- The findings reveal that all specimens show variable multidirectional movement between the PT and AT, suggesting this motion is a normal occurrence and can be effectively evaluated through ultrasound imaging.
