Abstract
The Achilles tendon is the largest and most resistant tendon of the human body. Its acute rupture has become very frequent, linked to a sudden acceleration effort, in the majority of cases during a sprtive activity. Our work focused on 18 cases of achilles tendon rupture in the trauma and orthopedic department of Avicenne hospital in Rabat over a period of 7 years between January 2007 and December 2013. All our patients were treated surgically by the technique of a chigot. The long-term results, after a 36-month decline, were assessed according to the MeComis criteria. They were 100% excellent.
