ABSTRACT

El tendón calcáneo (TC) en el hombre es el más voluminoso y resistente del cuerpo, constituyéndose por su inserción en un elemento vital en la mecánica articular del pie como también en las numerosas patologías que afectan las regiones talocrural y calcánea. Para el estudio se utilizaron 120 miembros inferiores (60 derechos y 60 izquierdos), de cadáveres formolizados de individuos adultos, de ambos sexos. Se disecó la cara posterior de la pierna desde la línea articular de la rodilla hasta la parte inferior del calcáneo, se retiró el tejido adiposo precalcáneo dejando libre el TC. Se observó que el TC estaba formado, exclusivamente, por la fusión de las aponeurosis de los músculos gastrocnemio y sóleo en 62 casos (51,67 por ciento). El tendón del músculo plantar contribuye a la formación parcial del TC en 38 casos (31,67 por ciento) e integralmente en 20 casos (16,66 por ciento). El ancho del TC a nivel de la terminación del vientre del músculo sóleo fue de 12,88 mm +/- 2,0 en el hombre y de 11,55 mm +/- 1,6 en la mujer y el grosor del TC al mismo nivel de 4,29 mm +/- 0,64 en el hombre y de 4,36 mm +/- 0,64 en la mujer. El ancho del TC a nivel del margen posterosuperior del calcáneo fue de 17,98 mm +/- 1,7 en el hombre y de 17,06 mm +/- 1,53 en la mujer. El grosor del TC al mismo nivel fue de 3,79 mm +/- 0,61 en el hombre y de 3,93 mm /- 0,67 en la mujer. La distancia entre el margen posterosuperior del calcáneo y el inicio de la parte insertada del TC fue de 10,99 mm +/- 2,11 en el hombre y 10,84 +/- 2,71 en la mujer. El largo de la parte insertada del TC fue de 17,78 mm +/- 2,4 en el hombre y de 17,66 mm +/- 4,75 en la mujer. El ancho del TC a nivel de su inserción en el hueso calcáneo fue de 28,77 mm +/- 2,53 en el hombre y de 27,21 mm +/- 2,93 en la mujer. La tendinopatía en la inserción del TC suele ser frecuente requiriendo en algunos casos debridamiento quirúrgico del tendón. Por lo anterior, conocer aspectos morfométricos del TC y de su inserción adq...


In man the calaneous tendon (CT) is the most voluminous and resistent tendon in the body; its insertion is a vital element of the foot joint mechanism as well as in a number of disorders that affect talocrural and calcaneal regions. For the present study 120 lower members (60 right and 60 left) of formolized cadavers, adult subjects of both sexes were used. Posterior surface of the leg was disected from the joint line of the knee to the lower part of the calcaneal removing precalcaneus adipose tissue, exposing the CT. We observed that in 62 cases (51.67 percent) the CT was formed exclusively by fusion of aponeurosis of the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles. In 38 cases (31.67 percent) tendon of the plantar muscle contributes to the partial formation of the CT, and fully integrated in 20 cases (16.66 percent). Width of the CT at the soleus muscle belly end, was 12.88 mm +/- 2.0 in men and 11.55 mm +/- 1.6 women and density at the same level was 4.29 mm +/- 0.64 in men and 4.36 mm +/- 0.64 in women. Width of the CT at the posterosuperior border of the calcaneal was 17.98 mm +/- 17 in men, and 17.06 mm +/- 1.53 in women. CT density at the same level was 3.79 mm +/- 0.61 in men and 3.93 mm +/- 0.67 in women. Distance between posterosuperior border of the calcaneal and starting point of the inserted portion of the CT was 10.99 mm +/- 2.11 in men and 10.84 +/- 2.71 in women. Length of the inserted portion of the CT was 17.78 mm +/- 2.4 in men and 17.66 mm +/- 4.75 in women. Width of the CT at the insertion level in the calcaneus bone was 28.77 mm +/- 2.53 in men and 27.21 mm +/- 2.93 in women. Insertional CT tendinopathy is a chronic condition in some cases requiring surgical debridement of the tendon. Therefore, knowledge of morphological aspects of the CT and its insertion is important at the time of surgical procedures of the talocrural region.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Determinar as espessuras e larguras dos tendões do calcâneo (tendão de Aquiles) em crianças eutróficas de ambos os gêneros, aos 2, 6, 9 e 12 meses de idade. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Fizeram parte deste estudo prospectivo e descritivo 38 meninos e 31 meninas. As medidas dos tendões foram obtidas por meio de ultrassonografia, utilizando transdutor linear de 14 MHz, na altura do maléolo medial. RESULTADOS: Verificou-se que as espessuras dos tendões nos meninos foram de 2,4 mm, 2,3 mm, 2,4 mm e 2,4 mm, aos 2, 6, 9 e 12 meses, respectivamente. As larguras do tendão do calcâneo foram de 6,0 mm, 6,4 mm, 6,7 mm e 7,1 mm, respectivamente. Nas meninas, as espessuras obtidas aos 2, 6 e 9 meses foram de 2,4 mm, e aos 12 meses encontrou-se o valor de 2,5 mm. As quatro medidas da largura foram de 5,7 mm, 6,2 mm, 6,5 mm e 6,5 mm, respectivamente. CONCLUSÃO: Não houve diferença na espessura do tendão do calcâneo ao longo do primeiro ano de vida para ambos os gêneros, entretanto, houve diferença nas medidas da largura.


OBJECTIVE: To determine the thickness and width of the calcaneal tendon (Achilles tendon) in both male and female, eutrophic children at 2, 6, 9 and 12 months of age. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present prospective and descriptive study included 38 boys and 31 girls. Measurements of the tendons were performed by means of ultrasonography, with a linear, 14-MHz probe, at the level of the medial malleolus. RESULTS: Tendon thicknesses observed in the boys were 2.4 mm, 2.3 mm, 2.4 mm, and 2.4 mm, respectively at 2, 6, 9 and 12 months. Widths were, respectively, 6.0 mm, 6.4 mm, 6.7 mm and 7.1 mm. In the girls, the tendon thicknesses observed at 2, 6 and 9 months were 2.4 mm, and 2.5 mm at 12 months. Widths were, respectively, 5.7 mm, 6.2 mm, 6.5 mm and 6.5 mm. CONCLUSION: No difference was observed in the calcaneal tendon thickness between boys and girls along the first year of their lives; however, width measurements demonstrated differences.
