Introduction: the Gastrocnemius-soleus complex (triceps surae), traverses both the ankle and the knee joint and consolidates as achilles tendon, which is the largest, strongest tendon and one of the most common tendons to get ruptured and it is innervated by tibial nerve. Patients having Tendoachilles rupture have chronic ankle pain and are unable to walk pain free. They lose the ability to stand on their toes on the affected side, although standing on both toes may be possible with unilateral cases. Patients will not be able to run as they do not get enough strong push-off by dorsiflexion of the ankle. The management of the ruptured tendon is a challenging job. The management of chronic Tendoachilles ruptures is usually different from that of end-to-end suturing done for acute ruptures, as tendons and ends in chronic tears are retracted, undergo degenerative calcification and are atrophy with short and fibrous distal stumps. Here in this article we have reviewed the tendoachillis rupture and its surgical management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
