Long-Term Prognosis of Patients With Achilles Tendinopathy An Observational 8-Year Follow-up Study
TL;DR: The results of the 8-year follow-up showed that the long-term prognosis of patients with acute-to-subchronic Achilles tendinopathy is favorable as determined by subjective and functional assessments.
Journal ArticleDOI
An outcome study of chronic patellofemoral pain syndrome. Seven-year follow-up of patients in a randomized, controlled trial.
TL;DR: The seven-year overall outcome was good in approximately two-thirds of the patients; however, the remaining patients still had symptoms or objective signs of a patellofemoral abnormality.

Ultrasonography in the Differential Diagnosis of Achilles Tendon Injuries and Related Disorders: A comparison between pre-operative ultrasonography and surgical findings
TL;DR: US can reliably be used for locating the Achilles tendon abnormality, estimating its severity, and determining most of the conditions requiring surgical intervention, but it is not completely reliable for diagnosing peritendinitis and tendinitis, and it cannot be used to differentiate partial tendon ruptures from focal degenerative lesions.
Journal Article
Ultrasonography in the Differential Diagnosis of Achilles Tendon Injuries and Related Disorders
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared pre-operative US with surgical findings in 79 patients with an Achilles tendon complaint and found that US was highly reliable for verifying a complete Achilles tendon rupture: only one false negative US examination was found in the 26 surgically verified cases.
