Torn Achilles tendon:
Surgical repair of a recently torn Achilles tendon, percutaneous approach; ideally, the operation should be performed within the first 8 days following the rupture.

The tendon is relatively fragile and accidents (tears) are common, essentially in the course of physical activity (tennis, volley-ball, badminton…), particularly when the tendon is subjected to trauma caused by a movement that is too violent (e.g. when running a short but intense distance).

A tear is easy to recognise when it occurs: there is the sound of tissues tearing (which can sometimes be heard from several metres away) and a very sharp pain below the calf.

• intra-ligament fractures,
• supra-ligament fractures,
• sub-ligament fractures.
