Musculoskeletal - Achilles Tendon Short Axis
Caption
This clip begins with the soft tissue of the heel and calcaneus visible in short axis. As the probe moves proximally, the achilles tendon appears in transverse view as an oval with an echogenic punctate appearance beneath a bright layer of skin at the top of the screen. As we move proximally the achilles tendon tapers and the gastrocnemius/soleus muscle complex becomes more prominent. Hannah Kopinksi and Dr. Lindsay Davis - NYU Emergency Medicine
