Abstract
Old ruptures of the Achilles tendon are hardly repaired by end to end sutures. We report two cases of that kind of injury using peroneus brevis tendon. Two cases sustained neglected rupture of the Achilles tendon by misdiagnosis. Peroneus brevis tendon is long enough to cover the defects of a ruptured tendon. Both case 1 as well as case 2 were in good condition after the reconstruction of the Achilles tendon. We concluded that this method is most effective for old rupures of the Achilles tendon.
