Presentation
A retrospective analysis of the short-term outcomes achieved in a case series (n = 56) is presented. The postoperative anthropometric findings are also presented to indicate the successful outcomes achieved with this technique. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
- Weakness
Unrecognized tendon ruptures associated with closed ankle fractures may be a cause of residual ankle-foot weakness, pain, loss of motion, or a combination thereof. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
So a weak spot can develop and then a person jumps or runs and whatever specific variables of fate align and the tissue lets go. Tendonosis can develop on the Achilles tendon. [tendonitisexpert.com]
- Inflammation
Three months postoperatively, MRI showed some signs of inflammation, which disappeared at one or two years postoperatively. All patients were able to perform a single-limb heel rise. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This condition may cause pain, inflammation, and limited mobility. [orthopedics.about.com]
Achilles Tendonitis This condition is marked by inflammation and irritation of the Achilles tendon which is located in the back of the ankle. [rothmaninstitute.com]
Figure 6: MRI of Achilles insertional tendinosis (enthesopathy) is characterised by bone marrow oedema (arrow) of the calcaneus (heel bone), Haglund�s deformity, inflammation in the surrounding soft tissues (retrocalcaneal bursitis; arrow) and partial [melbourneradiology.com.au]
- Falling
With modern conservative management protocols, the re-rupture risk appears to fall to one similar to surgical repair with negligible loss of function. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
If the Achilles tendon is torn, the foot falls to a neutral position. The Matles test is 88% sensitive and 85% specific for tears. For palpation of the tendon gap, the patient is asked to stand on the affected leg (if possible). [msdmanuals.com]
An acute rupture is commonly seen in squash, tennis, football, running, and other sports that require repetitive abrupt jumping or bursts of sprinting 2 Injury may also occur from a fall or missing a step or a deep laceration … View Full Text Log in Log [bmj.com]
An injury to the tendon can also result from falling or tripping. Achilles tendon ruptures are most often seen in "weekend warriors"—typically, middle-aged people participating in sports in their spare time. [foothealthfacts.org]
You suddenly trip or stumble, and your foot is thrust in front to break a fall, forcefully overstretching the tendon. You fall from a significant height. [physioworks.com.au]
- Wound Infection
No wound infection, fistula, skin necrosis, sural nerve damage, deep venous thrombosis or tendon re-rupture was found. One year after the surgery, all patients reported 100 AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score points and the mean ATRS was 96.6. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Complications of surgery: these are usually minor complications such as a wound infection or reduced sensation near the operation site. About 4 in 100 people develop a wound infection following surgery to fix a ruptured Achilles tendon. [patient.info]
I realize there is more of a possibility for wound infection, but that's worth the risk—I don't want to pop my Achilles again, and, to tell the truth, I don't really worry about infections. [uofmhealth.org]
Authors' conclusions: Open surgical treatment of acute Achilles tendon ruptures significantly reduces the risk of rerupture compared with non-surgical treatment, but produces significantly higher risks of other complications, including wound infection [cochrane.org]
- Surgical Procedure
This detailed video explains the entire process of achilles tendon rupture surgery, including preparation, tendon repair, end of procedure and after care. The incision is closed with sutures or surgical staples. [cfaortho.com]
Numerous surgical procedures have been described for the reconstruction of neglected AT ruptures. However, no report has been issued about an AT rupture neglected for more than 2 years. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Surgical Procedure Your surgeon will begin by positioning the back of the ankle for optimum visibility. An anesthetic will be provided to ensure you experience no pain during the course of the procedure. [arizonafoot.com]

Acute calf pain and swelling can indicate a tear or partial tear of the Achilles tendon where it meets the calf muscle. You may still be able to use that foot to walk, but you will need to see a specialist such as an orthopedic surgeon. [emedicinehealth.com]

Prevention
Wrap the foot and ankle in an elastic bandage to prevent further swelling. Elevation. Keep the leg elevated to reduce the swelling. It should be even with or slightly above heart level. [foothealthfacts.org]
CONCLUSION: An Achilles tendon rupture is a devastating injury that prevents RTP for 30.6% of professional players. Athletes who do return play in fewer games, have less play time, and perform at a lower level than their preinjury status. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
