Achilles Tendon Stripping

 

 

 

 

Achilles tendon scan

 

This procedure involves a high volume injection under ultrasound guidance targeting abnormal vessels around the Achilles tendon, to disrupt abnormal blood vessels and nerves around the tendon with the aim of pain relief. Our team of imaging specialists combine real time imaging with precision needle placement, to ensure accurate removal of damaged tissue, while preserving the integrity of the tendon.

With continuous monitoring throughout the process, we can ensure the procedure is carried out fully and effectively, and provide immediate feedback to a surgical team if necessary. Our imaging expertise is also essential for follow-up assessments, rehabilitation planning, and evaluating the healing process.

 

 

 

 

 

Other procedures and diagnostics

Here at MSK, we perform a range of procedures with the help of imaging techniques, enhancing the efficiency, quality, and patient outcomes for a wide range of clients.

 

 

Image guided Spinal intervention
We offer a host of Image guided spinal interventions including Nerve root blocks, epidural injections, and facet injections.
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)
PRP is used to treat a range of conditions, including arthritis, tendinosis, muscle tears, and for plantar fasciopathy.
Achilles Tendon Stripping
This is a minimally invasive, effective, and technically straightforward treatment of Achilles tendinopathy.
Dry Needling or Barbotage
This is the most frequent and successful treatment for patients with calcific tendonitis.
Hyaluronic Acid Injection
This substance mimics the joints’ natural lubricant, and has been shown to be highly effective in reducing pain and inflammation.
Cryoablation for Morton’s Neuroma
This is a highly effective treatment, especially if performed with an Ultrasound.
Steroid injections
When performing a steroid injection, we use real-time imaging to visualise the affected area and guide the needle to the precise location, minimising risk.
Arthrograms
This involves using an arthroscope to visualise and diagnose joint problems by viewing the joint’s interior, and this can also be used to perform various treatments.
