Lin JL – The Achilles tendon is commonly afflicted by these problems because of the dominant role it plays in the mechanics of gait and running and its inherently poor blood supply.

The goal is to provide the orthopedic foot and ankle surgeon with a wide variety of techniques to solve both the straightforward Achilles tendon problem as well as the difficult revision case.
