MR is rapidly establishing itself as a premiere imaging modality for the assessment of musculoskeletal trauma. Its utility in the evaluation of the menisci and ligaments of the knee is well known, but there is far less known about the use of MR for evaluation of the tendons. MR, by virtue of its unmatched soft tissue resolution capability, can determine not only the contour of an affected tendon, but the tendon sheath and internal signal alterations that accompany tendonitis, partial and complete ruptures. Injuries to the Achilles tendon are well known to the athlete and the imager alike; however, abnormalities of the posterior tibial tendon, peroneal tendon, and flexor hallucis longus also result in significant clinical symptoms, as well as imaging abnormalities.
