what do tendons connect
muscles to bone
what do ligaments connect
bone to bone
muscle appearance on u.s
hypoechoic tissue w/ echogenic linear strands
cause of tendonitis
over use or strain
diffuse tendonitis on ultrasound
thickened and hypo tendon
hyperemic flow
fluid
focal tendonitis on u.s
localized enlarged hypo area within in tendon
hyperemic flow
fluid
fluid in the synovial sheath is often indicative of
tendosynovitis
tendonitis clinical findings
pain
painful region
warm to touch
acoustic shadowing caused by a bend of sound at the edge of a curved reflector is
refractive shadowing
clinical findings of a tendon rupture
pain
edema
swelling
sono findings of a partial tendon rupture
focal hypo area within tendon
sono findings of tendon complete rupture
anechoic or hetero
most commonly insured ankle tendon
achilles tendon
what does the achilles tendon connect
calf muscle to heel
thompson test
patient prone
calf is squeezed and the foot should plantarflex in a patient without a tear of the achilles tendon

accumulation of synovial fluid from weakening in the joint capsule
pannus
tissue flap
where are baker cyst located
