Abstract
Ruptures of the calcaneal tendon which present late may be repaired using carbon fibre to induce a neotendon. The operative technique is described and the results of five cases reviewed. The average muscle power obtained was 88% of normal, and the thickness of the neotendon was 148% of that of the normal side. It would appear that this tendon formation in man is comparable to that previously described in sheep.Entities:
