ABSTRACT
Most Achilles tendon surgeries are performed with the patient in the prone position. Some advocate supine position but the access to the tendon is compromised. We describe an innovative technique wherein the patient is positioned lateral but the surgeon has full access to the Achilles tendon as if the patient were positioned prone. We consider that this technique could be easily reproduced and hence widely adopted.
