| Abstract |
Ultrasound (US) is the primary imaging technique used to evaluate pathologies affecting the tendons, as the use of high frequency probes permits a detailed study of the structure and morphology of the area also during dynamic examinations. The mid-portion of the Achilles tendon is well evaluated both in normal and pathological conditions, such as tendinosis and peritendinitis as well as partial-thickness and full-thickness tears. The role of US is essential to the diagnosis and, therefore, also to treatment planning in major disorders affecting the Achilles tendon. US furthermore allows the clinician to monitor the effectiveness of treatment over time as well as the risk of recurrent rupture after surgery. |

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 19 December 2016.
All research outputs
#16,721,717
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Ultrasound
#236
of 652 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#128,219
of 209,404 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Ultrasound
#4
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 652 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.9. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 61% 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 209,404 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
