| Abstract |
In various Achilles tendon disorders, little attention is paid to the bone environment at the tendon insertion sites. The aim of the present study was to assess the calcaneal bone structure in Achilles tendon disorders using computed tomography (CT). This study included 31 male patients diagnosed with various Achilles disorders, including episodes of tendon rupture (TR), conservatively treated tendinopathy (TP), and critical-stage Achilles TP treated with endoscopic surgery (TS). CT scans of both feet were conducted to assess the calcaneal bone structure in the TP and TS groups, which comprised 23 patients. Bone measurements were calculated, including the bone volume-to-total volume ratio (BV/TV), cross-sectional area (CSA), product moment of area (Ipm), and polar section modulus (Zpol). The results demonstrated increased BV/TV, CSA, Ipm, and Zpol values in patients who underwent tendinoscopy and in patients with insertional TP. CT images are useful for evaluating calcaneal trabecular structural alterations in patients with Achilles pathology and correlate with the TP type. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 October 2017.
All research outputs
#13,570,909
of 23,003,906 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
#434
of 1,398 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#161,866
of 320,342 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
#9
of 28 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,003,906 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,398 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.6. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 320,342 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 28 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 67% of its contemporaries.
