Abstract
Despite the well-publicized injuries of US Olympics sprinter Mark Witherspoon and Atlanta Hawks star Dominique Wilkins, an Achilles tendon rupture is rare. But when it does occur—usually among middle-aged recreational athletes—the injury is sometimes misdiagnosed. A thorough history and physical exam will point physicians to the right diagnosis.
