Abstract:
Radiofrequency microdebridement for Achilles tendinosis is a relatively new technique. We report a case of Achilles tendon rupture in a patient eight weeks after coblation for his right insertional Achilles tendinosis. We believe that this is the first reported case of Achilles tendon rupture following this new treatment of radiofrequency microdebridement for chronic Achilles tendinosis.
