Neglected ruptures of the Achilles tendon

Hamish D H Leslie et al. Foot Ankle Clin. 2005 Jun.

Abstract

Neglected 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. Comparison of different techniques is difficult.
