Achilles tendon rupture on POCUS

Adhikari's Image of the Wk: Achilles tendon rupture. Look for disruption of the nl pattern of parallel fibers in long axis w/retracted ends. *Muscle fibers at the musculotendinous junction and tendon insertion at calcaneus appear hypoechoic- Don't confuse w/partial tears!
