Achilles tendon rupture has become an important problem with the increasing incidence in recent years. At the same time, there are many methods for the treatment of Achilles tendon rupture. How to statistically assess the severity of Achilles tendon rupture is significant for judging the effectiveness of the treatment methods. There are many methods to evaluate the severity of Achilles tendon rupture in clinical practice, most of which are invasive or require staining, which is relatively cumbersome. Because of its sensitivity to microstructures, particularly anisotropy analysis in disease diagnosis, Mueller matrix polarimetry has shown promise as a label-free technique in biomedical research. Therefore, Mueller matrix polarimetry is used to evaluate the severity of the Achilles tendon rupture. The results show that Muller matrix parameters could distinguish the normal Achilles tendon samples from the injured Achilles tendon samples and could distinguish trends in the internal composition of the Achilles tendon. We provide a non-contact and non-labeling in situ method for the assessment of Achilles tendon rupture, which is very promising.
