Spontaneous Rupture of the Tendoachilles in a Patient of Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Case Report

We present here a case of spontaneous rupture of left tendon Achilles in a 28 years old female patient suffering from rheumatoid arthritis not on steroid treatment. We repaired the same using an end to bone repair by means of a pullout suture. Post op immobilization for 3 weeks in an above knee plaster and gradual weight bearing after 3 weeks of immobilization resulted in subjective improvement in functional capacity of the patient. Further improvement in function was seen in the subsequent monthly follow up examinations which extended for another 12 months.
