Figure <strong>47</strong>-15. Plantaris tear in a 71-year-old who, while playing tennis, heard a “snap” <strong>and</strong> experienced sudden onset <strong>of</strong> posterior calf pain.<br />
A, Coronal T2-weighted fat-suppressed images through both calves reveal a b<strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong> edema tracking between the left calf muscles (white<br />
arrowheads). B, Axial T2-weighted fat-suppressed images taken at the level <strong>of</strong> the dotted line in A show the edema tracking between the left<br />
soleus (S) <strong>and</strong> the gastrocnemius (G) muscles.<br />

Figure <strong>47</strong>-16. Stenosing tenosynovitis <strong>of</strong> the posterior tibial tendon (PT) in a 57-year-old with chronic medial ankle pain. These are straight<br />
axial images, obtained at the same level, with different sequences. A, T1-weighted image shows loss <strong>of</strong> the normal sharp fat–tendon interface<br />
around the PT (arrowhead). B, Proton-density–weighted image shows that the chronically swollen <strong>and</strong> scarred PT is larger in axial cross section<br />
than the normal anterior tibial tendon (AT). C, T2-weighted image shows that the tissue surrounding the PT is not fluid but the chronic fibrotic<br />
scarring <strong>of</strong> stenosing tenosynovitis.<br />
