Figure 4

Immediate postoperative lateral (a) and frontal (b) conventional radiography of a canine patient after repair of an acute Achilles tendon avulsion. The interference screw is perfectly positioned. The profile view (a) shows the axis of the bone tunnel outlet at the proximal level of the calcaneus and screw located at the midheight of calcaneus, proximally and caudally to the talocrural joint. The frontal view (b) shows a bicortical characteristic of the interference screw at the level of implantation in calcaneus.
