MRI scans (sagittal T2-weighted, TR/TE, 2300.0/64.0) of two patients 1-, 3-, and 6 weeks post-tenotomy. a Patient from group A showed separation of the Achilles tendon 1 week after surgery (white arrow). Week 3 showed low and low-intermediate signal intensities in the tendon gap where the early period of tendon regeneration can be seen (gray arrow). Week 6 showed the low intensity signal of the regenerated tendon (outlined arrow). b Patient from group B showed separation of the Achilles tendon 1 week after surgery (white arrow). Week 3 showed high signal intensities in the tendon gap, yet tendon regeneration can be seen in the two vertical, low-intermediate signal intensities (gray arrow). Week 6 showed the low intensity signal of the regenerated tendon (outlined arrow)
