A member asked:
If i ruptured my achilles tendon 3-5 years ago and did not seek medical treatment, would it still be detectable on mri?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A complete rupture should be visible on an MRI. A partial rupture may be more difficult to see, but will likely also be visible on MRI.
