Abstract
The author presents a long-term follow-up on Achilles tendon rupture and repair. The study includes comparison of Achilles tendon rupture and repair performed by the author and other surgeons. There was an alarmingly high incidence of complications with the Achilles repair and partial ruptures not reported in the literature. Discussion regarding ways to reduce complications using the author's classification system, and repair, was effective based on this study.
