Good morning... any ideas on this??

"A longitudinal incision was made over the Achilles tendon down to the heel and dissection carried down through the skin and subcutaneous tissue. The paratenon was identified and the soft tissued freed up in the paratenon on both sides. Then the paratenon was split medially and laterally and then peeled off the tendon. The tendon itself was normal with no thickening, swelling or abnormal areas."

Thanks!!!
