- Title
Acute pijn aan de achillespees.
- Authors
Linschoten, R. van
- Abstract
This clinical case describes an acute indirect traumatic injury to the Achilles tendon region of a professional handball player. After ultrasound and MRI investigation the injury appears to consist of an isolated rupture of the plantar muscle tendon. A plantar tendon rupture may mimic an acute Achilles tendon rupture but can be differentiated by quick clinical recovery. Ultrasound investigation is useful in case of diagnostic uncertainty.
