Description
Madeh Sadan, Gamal Mounir Allouch, and Fahad Abdullah Alshanbari describe in 2026 the anatomy and injuries of the Achilles tendon in dromedary camels. The tendon gathers several muscles and attaches to the heel bone in layered fashion. Cases of laceration and rupture were examined clinically and with two imaging methods.
The injured camels had severe hindlimb lameness and swelling around the tendon. Older animals and males were affected more often, and blunt trauma was the main cause recorded. Ruptures outnumbered open lacerations in their case material. X-rays revealed swelling and any bone damage, while ultrasound showed the tendon disruption itself. Using both methods together supports accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, and prognosis, the authors conclude. Camels matter economically for milk, meat, and racing, so tendon injuries carry real cost.
