Achilles rupture can occur spontaneously or secondary to traumatic injury. Described in the present report is the case of a patient with lung cancer who was undergoing combined chemotherapy treatment that included corticosteroids. Diagnosis of bilateral spontaneous Achilles' tendon rupture was initially overlooked. A-60-year old male presented with complaints of intense bilateral ankle pain, weakness in the legs, difficulty walking on the toes, and swelling and bruising on the heel. Neuropathy associated with chemotherapeutic agents was considered, before physical examination and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed bilateral Achilles' tendon rupture. The complaints resolved, following a 4-week rehabilitation program. Spontaneous rupture of the Achilles' tendon may occur as a rare complication in patients taking chemotherapy agents including steroids.

“…[21][22][23] Lansdaal et al found that minimally invasive Achilles tendon repair in Bunnell's suture in combination with a functional rehabilitation program is a safe and quick procedure with a low rate of re-rupture and a high level of patient satisfaction. [24,25] Recent studies have found that long-term outcome after minimally invasive Achilles tendon rupture repair is excellent, with a low rate of complications. [26,27] We believe our minimally invasive percutaneous suturing conforms to the anatomical physiological feature of the Achilles tendon and meets the healing requirements inside the tendon.…”

AMAÇAşil tendonu yırtığı sık rastlanan bir yaralanmadır, komplikasyonları işlevini bozabilir. Yırtılmış tendonun rekonstrüksiyonu için sayısız operasyon tanımlanmış olmasına rağmen bu yöntemler tendonda mikrosirkülasyonu riske atabildiği gibi tendonun iyileşmesini ciddi derecede bozabilir. Yırtıktan hemen sonra minimal invaziv tenokutanöz teknikle dikiş atma ve sistemik fonksiyonel egzersiz, komplikasyon riskini büyük ölçüde azaltabilir. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEMHaziran 1996 ile Şubat 2009 arasında bu yöntemle 21-66 yaş arası 88 (54 erkek) hasta tedavi edildi. BULGULAR

The incidence of acute Achilles tendon ruptures is on the rise. This is thought to be due to the increasing number of middle-aged persons participating in athletic and/or strenuous activity. Ruptures of the Achilles tendon can be severely debilitating, with deficits seen years after the initial incident. Also, these injuries can have substantial socioeconomic impacts regardless of the treatment selected. Debate continues over the optimal treatment of Achilles tendon ruptures, especially the argument whether to treat patients nonoperatively or surgically. Newer evidence shows that functional rehabilitation, including early weight-bearing, should be an integral part of successful treatment of acute Achilles ruptures. Further research is needed to further investigate the ideal treatment and rehabilitation protocols.
