What Causes an Achilles Tendon Rupture ?
A ruptured Achilles tendon may occur when the tendon has been structurally weakened by an ongoing tendonitis, or when a completely healthy tendon is subjected to a sudden, unexpected force. A rupture can occur from simply overstretching your Achilles tendon in the course of a simple activity, such as gardening. Movements involving repeated stop-and-start footwork can also cause the Achilles tendon to rupture. Can an Achilles Tendon Rupture be Treated?
