Abstract:
Bilateral Achilles tendon rupture is an unusual injury. This rare entity usually occurs in patients on chronic steroid therapy or with underlying disease. Bilateral Achilles tendon rupture is extremely rare in a previously healthy individual. A case involving traumatic Achilles tendon rupture as a result of a sky diving accident is reported. Evaluation of patients with suspected Achilles tendon rupture is briefly reviewed.
