Article Synopsis
- Achilles tendinopathy and rupture are common issues, but there's a lack of quantitative data on the twisting of the Achilles tendon (AT).
- This study analyzed 40 embalmed lower extremities, measuring the torsion of the AT and its components, finding an average torsion of 34.59° and a median of 15.73° among its parts.
- A significant correlation was identified between the torsion in the AT and the lower leg bones, particularly with the femur, suggesting that bone and tendon torsion are related.
