Abstract
Neglected Achilles tendon ruptures, although uncommon, are debilitating injuries. The optimal management is surgical. Many different techniques can be used to repair or reconstruct the rupture, including tendo-Achilles advancement or flap reconstruction; local tendon transfer; and autologous, autograft, or synthetic implantation. Comparison of different techniques is difficult.Entities:
