“…Then, the distal tendon length (mm) was quantified as the distance between the distal end of the most distal fascicle (without any muscle fiber attachment) and the insertion of its tendon according to a procedure similar to our previous studies. 11,12 In summary, for each tendon length landmarks were then positioned roughly at the center of each transverse slice. Throughout this process, the placement of each landmark was visualized using a combination of frontal, sagittal, and transverse image reslices to ensure optimal positioning near the center of the examined structure across all reconstructed slices.…”

“…Subsequently, the distances between successive landmarks were measured and cumulatively added to determine the overall tendon length. 11,12 Then, the anatomical CSA (mm 2 ) as well as the widths (anteroposterior diameter [APD] and mediolateral diameter [MLD]) were calculated from three measurement sites along the distal tendon: at 20% (Proximal), 50% (Middle), and at 80% (Distal). For the measurement of anatomical CSA, a region of interest (ROI) was defined manually as the tendon region without bone or fascia with the best reflection.…”

“…In the past, identification of variations in anatomy was usually limited to unexpected findings at surgery or during the process of anatomical dissection [ 1 ]. Advancements in ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enabled us to recognize accessory anatomical structures [ 2 , 7 , 17 , 18 , 19 ]. Τhe appearance of the TVI has been evaluated using such diagnostic imaging techniques with high reliability [ 17 , 18 , 20 , 21 ] and this provides the opportunity to examine the shape and role of this function, if any, in vivo [ 18 , 20 , 22 ].…”
