French term or phrase: tendon d’Achille à base interne et à sommet externe
This is in a report on a bite victim's hospital treatment for the purposes of assessing compensation.

EXAMEN CLINIQUE :

Cheville gauche :

Cicatrice à la face postérieure de la jambe à la partie haute du *tendon d’Achille globalement triangulaire à base interne et à sommet externe*, la base mesurant 8 cm sur une hauteur de 9 cm, cette zone est dyschromique, déprimée.

I have translated the queried terms thus: "with an internal base and an external top" but I am not sure if this is quite the right terminology.
