Abstract
|
|
|
|
Ossification of the Achilles tendon is a very rare condition. We report a case with ossification of Achilles tendon, recently treated surgically. The patient was a 44 year old male whose chief complaint was discomfort around the Achilles tendon. He didn’t have a previous history of surgery or trauma. The roentgenography showed that the bony mass was 15x3 cm on the right leg. Ossification of Achilles tendon was found in the Achilles tendon and treated by surgical removal of a bony mass and suturing the tendon. Microscopic examination of the extirpated specimen revealed bone formation through enchondral and intramembranous ossification in the Achilles tendon.
