Achilles tendon tears
-
Achilles tendon tears (ruptures) occur when the tendon that attaches the calf muscle to the heel bone tears.
The Achilles tendon tears when a movement pushes the toes upward (toward the shin) too forcefully or when a person is running or jumping forcefully.
The calf is very painful and walking is difficult, particularly when the tear is complete.
Doctors can usually diagnose Achilles tendon tears based on results of the physical examination.
Treatment usually consists of referral to an orthopedic surgeon and an ankle splint or, for some complete tears, surgery.(See also Overview of Sprains and Other Soft-Tissue Injuries.)
Achilles tendon tears are common. The tendon may be partially or completely torn.
