  • Title: Diagnosis and treatment of the ruptured Achilles tendon.
    Author: Hart TJ, Napoli RC, Wolf JA, Cangiano S.
    Journal: J Foot Surg; 1988; 27(1):30-9. PubMed ID: 3346507.
    Abstract:
    The authors review the basic principles of tendon healing and repair as they apply to a ruptured Achilles tendon, and discuss its diagnosis and treatment. The treatment, either surgical or conservative, is a controversial subject. Both forms have their problems. The authors conclude that while surgical repair is the treatment of choice in most cases, conservative management should be considered an effective alternative.
