| Core Tip |
This review paper aims to provide an overview of the fracture of an ossified Achilles tendon. This fracture is distinct in that it occurs with minimal or no triggers. Nonoperative treatments may offer acceptable results for the elderly; however, surgeries should be recommended in younger patients. Following excision of the fractured mass, repairing the tendon is only applicable if the remnant is enough. If there is a defect after the excision, reconstruction with autografts or adjacent tendon transfer is performed. Various kinds of tissues are used for the reconstruction. Treated properly, the functional result will be satisfactory. |
