Chronic Achilles tendon rupture associated with rupture of the peroneus brevis tendon. A clinical case.
The treatment of a chronic rupture of the Achilles tendon remains difficult. Different techniques such as augmentation or plasties are used for restoring the gap in these ruptures. The combination of Achilles tendon rupture with other tendon ruptures may increase the difficulty in their treatment. We present a rare combination of a delayed Achilles tendon rupture and a peroneus brevis tendon rupture and its management. The importance of the presented case is the combination of both ruptures that adds difficulty to the surgical technique. A thorough analysis should be made of the magnetic resonance findings when planning a tendon transposition. To our knowledge, there are no reports of a simultaneous combination of an Achilles tendon rupture and a peroneus brevis tendon rupture.
