Fracture of an ossified Achilles tendon is rare. This report describes one such case.
The patient was a 47-year-old man who suffered pain at the back of the ankle after falling down some steps. Fracture of an ossified Achilles tendon was diagnosed from radiographs. We repaired the injury using an anchoring system, and after the operation the patient used a short leg cast for 6 weeks.
The clinical result was good, and the patient had no complaints after 11 months of follow up.
