Physical examination and radiography confirmed a right Achilles tendon rupture (Fig. 1A). A standard approach was used to expose the joint and a type I Achilles tendon rupture was confirmed intra-operatively (Fig. 1B). At 97 days, the limb was 100% weight bearing and no limping was noted; thus, therapy was discontinued (Fig. 1D).
