Regarding “ Infographic : Achilles Tendon Ruptures: Nonsurgical Versus Surgical Treatment”

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

I noted the excellent infographic titled “Achilles Tendon Ruptures: Nonsurgical and Surgical Treatment,“ produced by Saggar et al.1 and wish to highlight the 3 injury features presented: a sensible and commonly audible pop, the presence of a palpable gap, and no plantar flexion. Without doubt, the appreciation of a pop to the Achilles tendon area, as though the patient has been struck from behind, is a common symptom of an acute Achilles tendon rupture (ATR). The presence of a palpable gap indicates a defect within the tendon, although one needs to be cautious of plantaris tendon.
