ABSTRACT

The Achilles tendon is the largest and strongest tendon in the human body, with a high capacity to withstand tensional forces. Achilles tendinopathy is a common condition, particularly in those who run. It is a chronic, activity-limiting syndrome, defined by the presence of pain and thickening in the Achilles tendon. We report the case of a patient who presents a corporal achilles tendinopathy, resistant to medical treatment for a duration of 06 months, the evolution being marked by the pain and the decrease of the tonicity of the tendon, which justified a surgical treatment by the technique of combing of the achilles tendon, the evolution in the course and medium term is marked by the absence of the pain and the resumption of a tonicity of the tendon at the end of the 3 rd post operative month.
