Case Report With a Nine-Year Follow-up

Michael R. Rask, MD

JAMA. 1978;239(5):435-436.

Abstract
Rheumatoid disease as a cause for achilles tendon rupture has been inferred but never reported to my knowledge. A patient with confirmed achilles tendon rupture from rheumatoid disease has been free from disease for nine years following tenoplasty and synoviobursectomy of the achilles tendon.
