Abstract
AIM: A rarely described Achilles tendon lesion resulting from Haglund's disease and its repair is presented. METHOD: An analysis of the respective clinical records was carried out. RESULTS: Haglund's resection was performed from a 3 cm lateral transverse approach. A coincidental anterior Achilles tendon partial tear was repaired by transversal U-sutures. CONCLUSION: A minimally invasive repair of a partial tear of the anterior Achilles tendon is feasible and effective. Copyright (c) Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart-New York.
