Treatment of Massive Defect in Achilles Tendon with Tendon Allograft: A Case Report / 대한족부족관절학회지

ABSTRACT

Deep infection of Achilles tendon is one of the serious complications that occur after open repair of the tendon. It sometimes leads to a very large tendon defect during the course of treatment. We report on a case of massive defect in Achilles tendon, which was successfully treated with Achilles tendon allograft and flexor hallucis longus tendon transfer.
