Approximately 20% to 25% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis have rheumatoid nodules.

We present an uncommon case of a solitary rheumatoid nodule arising from the paratenon of the Achilles tendon with ultrasound and magnetic resonance images.

This study evaluated the viscoelastic properties of the SMAS within the biomechanical parameters of the high-SMAS rhytidectomy.
Methods: Patients (n = 30) underwent a high-SMAS face lift performed by the senior author (F.
