In Episode 23 of The MSK Minute, I briefly review the Achilles tendon, the evaluation and treatment options when it ruptures. Included is an except from the book "The Knife Man: Blood, Body Snatching, and the Birth of Modern Surgery" by Wendy Moore, about 18th century surgeon John Hunter who described rupturing and treating his own Achilles rupture. Enjoy, and I trust that you will find the information valuable.
