Abstract
Chronic rupture of the Achilles tendon presents a therapeutic challenge. The endoscopic transfer of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon offers a minimally invasive alternative that provides both effective biomechanical reinforcement and enhanced healing potential. Through a clinical case and a review of the surgical technique, we highlight the relevance of this approach, especially in the presence of a large tendon gap. This treatment appears to be safe, reliable, and reproducible in experienced hands.
