    AbstractThe great increase in the number of persons engaged in sports in the 30-50 years age group has led to a marked increase in injuries of the tendon of Achilles. In this case there is tearing loose of the Achilles tendon; the bone and the tendon come apart, as in a rupture of Sharpey's fibres. The tack was made in webbing the tendon of Achilles with polydioxanone ligaments to the tuberosity of calcaneus. The question about prophylactic webbing of the degenerated tendon of Achilles on the other side has to be discussed. Assessment of this injury from the viewpoint of the accident insurance company is explained.
