Identification of pre-race ultrasonographic abnormalities of the Achilles tendon and association with future injuries in runners

CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the aforementioned specific morphologic abnormalities in the Achilles tendon may be associated with the future development of pain symptoms in distance runners in this cohort. Looking for these specific abnormalities may increase the specificity of identifying precursors to Achilles tendon pain development.PMID:37550955 | DOI:10.1080/00913847.2023.2246179
