AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2002 Oct;179(4):949-53. doi: 10.2214/ajr.179.4.1790949.

Abstract

Objective: This report describes sonography of ankle tendon impingement due to osteophytes, fracture fragments, and orthopedic hardware.

Conclusion: Sonography can be helpful in identifying ankle tendon impingement due to osteophytes, fracture fragments, and orthopedic hardware. In such cases, dynamic sonography can aid assessment.
