Abstract
The management of Achilles tendon rupture continues to be controversial in the everyday athlete; however, there is strong evidence indicating that surgical intervention is preferred in elite athletes due to the return of greater strength and peak torque. We review the published literature, as well as our operative technique and post-operative protocol in the management of Achilles tendon injuries in elite athletes.
