[Symmetrical bone formation in the Achilles tendon]
1Semmelweis Orvostudományi Egyetem Ortopédiai Klinika közleménye.
Abstract:
Author reports on a case of ectopic bone formation in the Achilles-tendons and reviews the literature. The pathologic change was caused probably by the chronic mechanical irritation suffered during the conservative treatment of the club feet. The continuity of the ossified mass was interrupted similarly to a fracture; the function was restored after an "osteosynthesis".
