Introduction:
We sought to highlight the significance of ultrasound in assessing injuries to the Achilles tendon.
Methods:
Using a case study approach, we present two case reviews involving insertional enthesopathy and tendonitis of the Achilles.
Results:
Our study shows the lesions in the Achilles tendon and the peritendinous structures noted on clinical examination of the patients reviewed were better characterized with the use of ultrasound.
Conclusion:
This outcome is in line with information from available literature and current practice.
