Injuries to the Achilles tendon are common injuries in sport actives and even after therapy (conservative or surgical), patients are at risk for a re-rupture of the AT. Within this study we present a new morphological MRI-Score to semi-quantitatively assess the state of the AT in patients: the Vienna Morphological Achilles Tendon Score (VIMATS).
