The aim of preoperative MRI was: defining the diagnosis, assessing the size of the defect, and confirming the presence of plantaris tendon. The authors used a 1.5-T?MRI?system (Gyro scan Intera, Philips medical Systems, Netherlands) with a commercially available quadrature cervical spinal coil or knee coil. During?MRI, the patient lay in the supine position with the affected?Achilles?tendon?placed on the coil. The protocols were Sagittal and axial fat-suppressed spin-echo T1-weighted images (TR/TE, 660/17), axial, and sagittal fast spin-echo T2-weighted images (3,500/84). Axial images were obtained with a 4-mm section thickness, 2-mm gap, 15 ? 15 cm field of view, 256 ? 192 matrix, and 2 signals averaged. Sagittal images were obtained with a 3-mm section thickness, 1-mm gap, 15 ? 15 cm field of view, 256 ? 192 matrix, and 2 signals averaged. No contrast was

With the lack of blood supply, the tendon is more susceptible to injury. Achilles tendinitis most commonly occurs in runners who have suddenly increased the intensity or duration of their runs. Achilles tendinitis occurs when a tendon is unable to adapt to the strain being placed upon it. This leads to “repeated small amounts of damage within the tendon fibres, and result in the tendon trying to heal itself in response to the strain” (Reid 2015).

The foot and its ligaments are described in an arch like triangular structure, also known as the truss. This includes the calcaneus, the midtarsal joint, and the metatarsals or the medial longitudinal arch, these three form the truss’s arch. The plantar fascia runs from the calcaneus to the phalanges and ties them to each other. As the individual travels on foot, whether it is running or walking, forces work its way down to the foot that start to flatten the medial longitudinal arch. As this happens, forces form the ground going up through the calcaneus and the metatarsal heads repeatedly happen a begin to create strain and pain in the plantar fascia.

Although tendon Achilles is the strongest tendon in the human body, all literature agreed that the tendon Achilles is the most commonly injured ankle tendon. the site of pathological findings is typically within the critical zone, a zone of relative hypovascularity 2- 6 cm from the calcaneal insertion. In this study Achilles tendon injuries represented 38 % of all diagnosed ankle tendon injuries and ranged in severity from enthesopathy, tendinosis, partial tear, to complete tear.

Age and sex play an important role in analyzing Achilles tendon rupture studies in surgical and nonsurgical methods. In this analysis, it cannot confirm the advantages of performing Achilles tendon surgery. This study are related to recent studies that show better results in nonsurgical treatments. Continuous separation between the torn tendons ending with the legs in the groove plantar are clues for surgery, can facilitate the selection of patients may get surgical treatment or not. The need for additional studies compares surgical and nonsurgical treatments to women and maybe even fifty years old men are obvious.

According Randell Wexler, there are approximately one million ankle sprains in the United States of America per year, and most of these sprains are from inversion injuries. An inversion injury is when the ankle is turned inward beyond the ligament stretching ability (Bays). Ankle sprains can happen many different ways, some include; running on uneven surfaces, landing incorrectly from a jump, and slipping off a curb. As with many injuries, there are different levels of severity-- for ankle sprains these levels are called grades (“Torn Ligaments of the Ankle”). The seriousness of the ankle sprain increases from least severe to most severe in a range of one to three.

Introduction Total knee replacement (TKR) is considered as an effective and successful end-stage surgical procedure for the relief of chronic knee pain and functional disability (Wylde et al. 2007). There should be radiographic evidence of joint damage, moderate to severe persistent pain that is not relieved by a course of non-surgical management and clinically significant functional limitation resulting in diminished quality of life (Gabr et al. 2011). In Singapore, there is no prevalence data on knee replacements (Leung et al. 2013), but Xu et al. (2008) reviewed the data of 1663 total knee replacements in a tertiary institute of Singapore, and revealed that 96% of the knee replacements were due to osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a multifactorial
