MRI and ultrasound techniques have been validated in measurement of Achilles tendon. We sought to develop a reproducible and accurate measurement technique utilizing the manual palpation of anatomic landmarks that will be cost effective and convenient to perform, particularly intraoperatively. 000008334 540__ $$fCC BY 000008334 542__ $$fIn copyright - joint owners 000008334 650__ $$aTenotomy$$039435 000008334 650__ $$aWound Healing$$028001 000008334 650__ $$aRupture 000008334 650__ $$aAchilles Tendon 000008334 6531_ $$atendon lengthening 000008334 6531_ $$atendon measurement 000008334 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000008334 692__ $$aDepartment of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation$$041436 000008334 7001_ $$aUrness, Daniel$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008334 7001_ $$aThompson, Austin$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008334 7001_ $$aSodders, Emelia$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008334 7001_ $$aMeeker, James$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008334 711__ $$aResearch Week$$uOregon Health and Science University$$d2020 000008334 8564_ $$956942a58-e52e-4413-ad1f-a6b1dd73a7aa$$s46560$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8334/files/ResearchWeek.2020.Urness.Daniel.pdf 000008334 905__ $$a/rest/prod/1z/40/kt/44/1z40kt44b 000008334 980__ $$aResearch Week
