title: [Partial Achilles tendon ruptures exist].
abstract: In this case report a typical case with partial Achilles tendon rupture is described. Because of unspecific symptoms, near normal MRI and no clinical signs of total rupture the diagnosis was delayed for almost four months. Open surgery showed a partial Achilles tendon rupture without significant signs of tendinopathy. The tendon was sutured and the post-operative period was uneventful.
