[Experimental investigations on the pathogenesis of achillis tendon rupture (author's transl)].
The histological changes following ischemic alteration of achillis tendon in rabbits are similar to those found in ruptured human achillis tendons. The healing of the experimentally damaged tendons is equal to that found in humans. Those results suggest that at least in a part of cases ischemic causes achillis tendon rupture.
