  • Title: Metasynchronous bilateral Achilles tendon rupture.
    Author: Hayes T, McClelland D, Maffulli N.
    Journal: Bull Hosp Jt Dis; 2003; 61(3-4):140-4. PubMed ID: 15156815.
    Abstract:
    Although Achilles tendon ruptures are a common occurrence, bilateral ruptures of the Achilles tendon are not. We present the case of a 33-year-old female who sustained metasynchronous (i.e., very close in time) bilateral ruptures of her Achilles tendons with no obvious predisposing factors. She was treated using a percutaneous technique and six months following surgery has returned to her normal activities.
