Abstract

Background: Sever disease is one of the most common causes of heel pain in growing children and adolescents. There is no consensus about etiology of Sever disease.

Methods: The study comprised 41 participants aged 8 to 13 years who visited the orthopedic outpatient clinic: 17 patients with Sever disease and 24 asymptomatic children. The middle third segment of the body of the Achilles tendon and the calcaneal insertion zone were separately assessed. Five measuring points for the quantitative value of each point were randomly selected. The color scale used in the Young's modulus shows the lowest values in blue and the highest values in red. The mean values were used for the statistical analysis.

Results: Less elasticity was detected at the insertional site for the control group (4.02 kPa versus 3.65 kPa), the situation was reversed in the body of the Achilles tendon and the elasticity of the study group was less than that of the control group (241.0 kPa versus 260.5 kPa). However, no statistically significant difference was found between the groups.

Conclusions: In conclusion, no difference was found in Achilles tendon elasticity between patients with Sever disease and healthy individuals in both the tendon body and the calcaneal insertionof the tendon. Achilles tendon elasticity has not been found to play a role in the etiology of Sever disease.

跟腱僵硬与 Sever 病的病因：剪切波弹性成像研究。

背景：赛弗病是导致成长中的儿童和青少年足跟痛的最常见原因之一。关于塞弗病的病因尚未达成共识：研究对象包括 41 名到骨科门诊就诊的 8 至 13 岁儿童：17名塞弗病患者和24名无症状儿童。分别评估了跟腱体中部第三段和小腿骨插入区。每个点的定量值随机选取五个测量点。杨氏模量使用的色标显示最低值为蓝色，最高值为红色。平均值用于统计分析：对照组插入部位的弹性较小（4.02 kPa 对 3.65 kPa），跟腱体部的情况正好相反，研究组的弹性小于对照组（241.0 kPa 对 260.5 kPa）。然而，研究组与对照组在统计学上没有明显差异：总之，在跟腱腱体和跟腱的小腿根部插入处，塞弗病患者和健康人的跟腱弹性没有差异。尚未发现跟腱弹性在塞弗病的病因中起作用。
