Abstract
Complex combined tears of the insertion and midsubstance of the Achilles tendon are rare injuries that are challenging to diagnose and treat. The author describes a novel technique for combined insertional and midsubstance Achilles repair that decreases proximal soft tissue dissection, restores musculotendinous length, and directly fixes tendon to bone in a strong, knotless fashion to allow for early mobilization and functional recovery. [Orthopedics. 2020; 43(1):e57-e64.].
