Ossification of the Achilles tendon is a rare condition. We recently treated a patient with ossification of bilateral Achilles tendons. The patient was a 50 year old male whose chief complaint was discomfort around the Achilles tendon. He had a previous history of treatment of bilateral club feet. On the roentgenograms, the length of the bony mass in the Achilles tendon was 5.5 cm on the right side and 1.5 cm on the left side. The left side was treated by surgical removal of a bony mass and suture of the tendon. Microscopic examination of the extirpated specimen revealed bone formation through enchondral and intramembranous ossification in the Achilles tendon.
跟腱骨化是一种罕见病症。我们最近治疗了一名双侧跟腱骨化的患者。该患者为一名50岁男性，主要诉求是跟腱周围不适。他既往有双侧马蹄内翻足治疗史。X线片显示，右侧跟腱内骨块长度为5.5厘米，左侧为1.5厘米。左侧通过手术切除骨块并缝合肌腱进行治疗。对切除标本的显微镜检查显示，跟腱内通过软骨内成骨和膜内成骨形成了骨组织。
