Abstract

Introduction: Imaging has been increasingly used in Achilles tendinopathy to aid in the diagnosis and management of Achilles tendinopathy. However, there is a limited relationship between findings observed on imaging and the clinical presentation. Further, evidence in lower back pain has suggested that imaging may have an iatrogenic effect on patients that results in increased medicalization and poorer clinical outcomes. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the reporting of imaging findings after treatment alter patient outcomes and perception of treatment efficacy.
