Injury of Achilles tendon
Injury of Achilles tendon: damage to the calf-to-heel tendon, from overuse tendinopathy to complete rupture. Also called Achilles rupture, tendinopathy; highest rupture rate of any tendon, 10-50 per 100,000 yearly.
Laceration of Achilles tendon
Laceration of the Achilles tendon, an open tendon injury (ICD-10 S86.12-), often from toilet-seat or motorcycle-spoke trauma; treated with irrigation, antibiotics, and primary repair within 24 hours.
