Fig. 2E —21-year-old man with ruptured Achilles tendon after percutaneous surgical repair. Serial MR images obtained 28 days (A–D), 57 days (E–H), and 87 days (I–L) after surgery. Disappearance of tendon gap appears earlier on T2-weighted images (A, E, and I) than on T1-weighted images (B, F, and J). Contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images (C, G, and K) show decrease in intratendon enhancement and increase in peritendon enhancement as ring-shaped appearance over time. Sagittal images (D, H, and L) were not used for measurement of gap length because of difficulty measuring precise length.
