Highlights• Presence of normal septation between subtendons may mimic an intrasubstance tear. • MRI is superior to ultrasound in detection of partial tears. • Ultrasound is as useful as MRI in detection of tendinopathy and full-thickness tears. • Kager's fat pad is involved in infection more than in postoperative changes. • The Achilles tendon xanthoma has a higher signal on T1- and T2-weighted sequences.
