Achilles injuries have increased in prevalence, most commonly occurring in middle-aged adults who participate in sports and recreational activities. Minimally invasive repair techniques continue to gain popularity as an alternative to the classically performed open Achilles tendon repair.

We describe an effective and reproducible technique to be used on active individuals and athletes at all ages and skill levels.
