Abstract:
Although Achilles tendinitis is a relatively common disease, tuberculous involvement of Achilles tendon is rare. We report a case of tuberculous Achilles tendinitis, which was successfully treated with chemotherapy and a combined surgical procedure (Achilles tendon parital excision and FHL tendon transfer).
