Acute ruptures of the Achilles tendon are common. Treatment for such ruptures is well documented. Treatment for chronic ruptures with a significant defect poses a surgical dilemma. The authors present the use of a tendon allograft to replace an Achilles tendon defect with a 2.5-year clinical follow-up inclusive of isokinetic testing.
