Reconstruction of an Achilles tendon defect utilizing an Achilles tendon allograft
Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery, 1996Acute ruptures of the Achilles tendon are common. Treatment for such ruptures is well documented. Treatment for chronic ruptures with a significant defect poses a surgical dilemma. The authors present the use of a tendon allograft to replace an Achilles tendon defect with a 2.5-year clinical follow-up inclusive of isokinetic testing.

Achilles tendon disorders are among the most common conditions seen by sports medicine physicians. The request for radiological assessment and for radiologically assisted therapy is on the steady increase. Thus understanding the anatomy and biomechanics of the Achilles tendon is crucial to the effective radiological diagnosis and thus the management of

Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2001
The Achilles tendon is the strongest tendon in the human body. Because most Achilles tendon injuries take place in sports and there has been an common upsurge in sporting activities, the number and incidence of the Achilles tendon overuse injuries and complete ruptures have increased in the industrialized countries during the last decades.

Biomechanics of the Achilles tendon
Disability and Rehabilitation, 2008Tendons behave viscoelastically and exhibit adaptive responses to conditions of increased loading and disuse. Strain patterns in tendons may not be uniform, as tendons show stress-shielded areas and areas subjected to compressive loading at the enthesis.

Achilles Tendon Rehabilitation
Foot and Ankle Clinics, 2009The operative management of acute Achilles tendon rupture marks the beginning of a comprehensive rehabilitation program. The goals of the rehabilitation program start with the reduction of pain and swelling and the recovery of ankle motion and power. They conclude with the restoration of coordinated activity and safe return to athletic activity.

Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 2013
The patient was a 30-year-old man who was referred to a physical therapist for a chief complaint of a painful, swollen left lower leg that had caused difficulty with walking in the previous 3 weeks. Prior to physical therapist referral, the patient's primary care provider ordered radiographs of the left ankle, which were interpreted as normal.

IMAGING OF THE ACHILLES' TENDON
Foot and Ankle Clinics, 2000The Achilles' tendon is amenable to imaging because of its superficial location and the presence of surrounding fat. This article reviews the ultrasound, the MR image, and the radiographic appearance of the normal and damaged tendon. The potential value to patient management is discussed for each modality.

Surgery of The Achilles’ Tendon
Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, 2001Without question, injury to the Achilles' tendon is one of the commonest running injuries involving the lower extremity. Repair of acute and delayed ruptures is discussed. Tendonitis is by far commoner than ruptures. The pathology and conservative and surgical treatments are discussed.
