Chronic rupture of the Achilles tendon (delayed diagnosis of more than 4 weeks) can result in retraction of the tendon and inadequate healing. Direct repair may not be possible and clinical results may not be satisfactory especially if the distal stump is grossly tendinopathic and when the defect exceeds 5-6 cm.Methods:We evaluated 9 patients (mean age 63) who underwent flexor hallucis longus transfer for treatment of chronic Achilles tendinopathy between May 2014 and January 2017 at a 12 months follow-up.
