Little is known about the morphology of healing rotator cuff after surgical repair. Shear wave elastography ultrasound (SWEUS) is a relatively new technique that evaluates tissue elasticity by applying an acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI). Dr Lisa Hackett explains the findings of a study to evaluate in a temporal fashion the stiffness of the repaired supraspinatus tendon post arthroscopic repair using shear wave elastography ultrasound imaging (SWEUS).

Fascicles of the achilles tendon
Traditionally the Achilles tendon has been seen as a single tendon unit when assessed with ultrasound. Recent advances in anatomy now challenge that notion where the individual sural fascicles ñ medial and lateral gastrocnemius and the soleus tendons maintain their individual tendons down to thei...
