The current study conducted on twelve adult rabbits to evaluate the healing of Achilles tendon defect by using ultrasonography. Six animals Exposed to traumatic injuries 5%. Our diagnostic study included: ultrasonic examination carry out by ultrasound apparatus employing 7.5 MHz frequency with linear probe. Ultrasound was successful in traumatic injury and partial rend of the tendon diagnosis and should be used as an excellent choice when the animal shows local clinical signs of tendon injury which represented swollen and pain. Radiography should be used when the bony insult is doubtful. A retard in identification and treatment of tendon injury has been shown to cause considerable impairment for that our study is offered elucidating the usefulness and readily of ultrasound to rapidly emphasize the diagnosis.
