The authors review the literature on Achilles tendon ruptures and discuss the conservative and surgical approaches to treatment of acute ruptures. A case history of acute Achilles tendon rupture is presented, including clinical signs not previously described. The primary complication of Achilles tendon rupture is the high incidence of rerupture after conservative therapy. The authors note that complications after surgical repair of an Achilles tendon rupture may be avoided by a surgeon skilled in the performance of this procedure and by the use of an appropriate surgical drain. The authors conclude that primary surgical repair is the treatment of choice for acute Achilles tendon ruptures.
