Abstract
We present a case of a 28–year old male patient with an alleged history of fall in the bathroom presenting with a compound wound suggestive of tendoachilles rupture at two junctions. The patient was surgically managed and tolerated the procedure well.
Keywords: Achilles tendon tear, vascularity, degeneration.
