Foot and Ankle Clinics, 2005Achilles tendon ruptures are common, and their incidence is increasing. The evidence for best management is controversial, and, in selected patients, conservative management and early mobilization achieves excellent results. Surgery is associated with an increased risk of superficial skin breakdown; however, modern techniques of percutaneous repair ...

Acute Ruptures of the Achilles Tendon
Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Review, 2009The Achilles tendon (AT) is the most frequently ruptured tendon in the human body, but the etiology of AT ruptures is still not completely understood. Percutaneous repair and conservative management are viable alternatives to open surgery, which carries higher complication rates and is the most costly of the 3 management options.

Spontaneous Achilles' Tendon Rupture
Radiology, 1969THE RECENT radiological literature has contained little information concerning spontaneous Achilles' tendon rupture. Although the clinical and physical findings were thoroughly described by Petit (1) in 1726, only one reference to this entity could be located in the current radiological literature (2).

Neglected Achilles Tendon Ruptures
Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, 2021Achilles tendon ruptures are a common ailment and often missed in upwards of 25% of cases. Neglected Achilles injuries can be treated both conservatively and surgically. Physical therapy, bracing, and custom ankle-foot orthoses are some options to consider. Surgically, there are many options, depending on the quality of the existing tendon, size of the

Acute Achilles Tendon Ruptures
Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, 2021There is an ever-evolving debate about the best treatment option for Achilles tendon ruptures. There was a relative consensus that operative treatment yielded the best outcomes. Much of this is based on results in athletic populations. Conservative treatment was considered only for the elderly and those with very inactive lifestyles.

Neglected Ruptures of the Achilles Tendon
Foot and Ankle Clinics, 2005Neglected Achilles tendon ruptures, although uncommon, are debilitating injuries. The optimal management is surgical. Many different techniques can be used to repair or reconstruct the rupture, including tendo-Achilles advancement or flap reconstruction; local tendon transfer; and autologous, autograft, or synthetic implantation.

Rupture of the Achilles and patellar tendons
Clinics in Sports Medicine, 2003Certain similarities can clearly be appreciated between Achilles and patellar tendon ruptures. Both are strong tendons that transmit force bridging at least one joint of the lower limb. When healthy, both require massive forces to be disrupted, and both can be weakened through certain systemic disease processes, steroids, and fluoroquinones. Both allow

Postgraduate Medicine, 1995
Rupture of the Achilles tendon is relatively uncommon, but most primary care physicians are occasionally faced with evaluation and treatment of such an injury. Diagnosis is not difficult and is based almost solely on the history and physical findings. To avoid misdiagnosis, the Thompson test should be performed in any evaluation of ankle pain.
