Zusammenfassung:Abstract Addressing segmental loss of the Achilles tendon with overlying soft tissue loss is a serious challenge. We present a case of Achilles tendon reconstruction in a patient who had significant soft tissue loss as well as segmental loss of the tendon involving the calcaneal insertion. The staged reconstruction was undertaken with a combination of a sural fasciocutaneous flap and an Achilles tendon allograft with an attached calcaneal bone block.
