Abstract
Treatments of Achilles tendinopathy continue to evolve. The body of literature is inadequate to provide a comprehensive guide to evaluation and treat failed surgeries. Issues related to failed surgical treatment may be divided into infection/wound issue, mechanical failure, and persistent pain. Awareness of the potential problems described in this article will allow surgeons to have a foundation in clinical assessment and making accurate diagnoses. Various surgical treatment options are available and should be executed carefully to treat individualized patient conditions.
