Öhberg score for Achilles tendon structure | Öhberg score for neovascularization | |
---|---|---|
0 | Normal structure (homogeneous echogenicity) | No neovascularization |
1 | Light structural changes (discrete hypoechogenic areas) | Mild neovascularization (a few solitary blood vessels) |
2 | Moderate structural changes (some well-defined hypoechogenic areas) | Moderate neovascularization (moderate quantity, most transversal blood vessels) |
3 | Severe structural changes (extended hypoechogenic areas) | Severe neovascularization (several, mostly horizontal blood vessels spread in the whole depth of the tendon) |
