Diagnostic Challenges in Plantaris Tear: A Case Study of Suspected TendoAchilles Injury
Dr. Kaunteya Ghosh, Dr. Prithwi Basu Roy, Dr. Yamini Binani
Abstract: This case study examines the complexities in diagnosing a plantaris tear initially suspected to be an incomplete TendoAchilles tear. The patient, a 54 - year - old male, presented with significant pain and functional impairment in the left ankle following a minor trauma. Initial examinations indicated a probable Achilles tendon injury; however, further imaging revealed a plantaris tear with associated hematoma. The case highlights diagnostic challenges, potential misdiagnoses, and the conservative treatment path taken to achieve successful recovery.
