Evaluation of the measurement of tendon and ligament thicknesses and the presence of enthesitis in lower extremities in female patients with acne vulgaris: a randomized controlled trial

Aim: Acne Vulgaris (AV) is a multifactorial disease which affects young population and most common in adolescents. There are no studies the literature invastigating presence of enthesitis lower extremity tendons ligaments thicknesses patients with AV. To investigate to evaluate tendon ligament extremities 
 Material Method: Thirty diagnosis AV 18 healthy participants, were included. severity was determined Global Grading System (GAGS). A single radiologist performed ultrasonographic evaluation respect Glasgow Ultrasonographic Enthesitis Scoring (GUESS). Measurement done on quadriceps tendons, patellar Achilles plantar fascias bilaterally extremity.
 Results: Age, body mass index, alcohol usage smoking similar between groups. GUESS score both group. Proximal ligaments, distal significantly increased dominant non-dominant legs (p
