Zusammenfassung:Achilles tendon rupture is thought to be increasing with participation in sports activities. Both operative and non-operative treatments of Achilles tendon rupture include a period of immobilization. Complications following treatment of the Achilles tendon rupture include recurrence of rupture, flexor weakness, infection, and wound problems. However, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after operative treatment of the Achilles tendon has not been reported. We report on a case of DVT after Achilles tendon repair.
