    • Abstract:
      A total of 62 patients submitted to the surgical treatment of subcutaneous rupture of the Achilles tendon were followed up after a period of time ranging from 2 to 8 years. End-to-end suturing and reinforcement plastic surgery obtained excellent clinical results in more than 80% of the cases, with complications which were principally inherent to scarring. There were no cases of rupture. In cases with a longer follow-up, ultrasound examination revealed aspects of fibrillate restructuring of the tendon.
