Not
 much literature exists regarding the treatment of myotendinous Achilles
 ruptures. The authors conducted this study in order to retrospectively 
examine clinical outcomes from uniform nonsurgical treatment of these 
injuries. Between November 2005 and May 2011, 30 patients presented with
 an acute, complete myotendinous Achilles rupture. The location of the 
Achilles injury was confirmed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for 
all patients. All patients were treated nonsurgically, with a system 
including 3 weeks of non-weight-bearing and then 3 weeks of progressive 
to full weight-bearing in an Achilles boot. Physical therapy was 
provided for 4 to 6 weeks after this period of immobilization. 21 males 
and 9 females participated. The patients had a mean age of 40.8 years 
(range, 24-54). Patients were followed an average of 40.5 months (range,
 23-81). They achieved full healing of the Achilles myotendinous 
junction  clinically in all 30 patients . All patients experienced 
improved function and less pain at their latest follow-up. Mean Foot and
 Ankle Ability Measure-Sports (FAAM-Sports) increased from 20.2% at the 
time of initial presentation to 95.2% at the latest follow-up (P < 
.05). Mean Visual Analog Scores (VAS) of pain decreased from 8.2 at the 
time of initial presentation to 1.3 at latest follow-up (P < .01). In
 all, 23 (76.7%), 6 (20%), and 1 (3.3%) patients rated their 
satisfaction as excellent, good, and fair, respectively. None of the 
patients they treated have developed recurrent myotendinous Achilles 
ruptures to date.
They concluded that a nonsurgical approach to the treatment of 
myotendinous Achilles ruptures results in a high rate of myotendinous 
healing with improved patient function and pain relief.
