Fig. 6B —68-year-old man, runner in Senior Olympics, has been experiencing ankle pain. Sonography was ordered to "rule out Achilles tendon tear." Axial sonogram obtained at area of pain identified by patient reveals thickened, tendinotic peroneus longus (PL) and split tear of peroneus brevis (PB, arrow) at level of distal fibula (F). Knowing where patient hurt enabled radiologist to produce a more clinically relevant report. Sonography also directed therapy to appropriate tendons.
