Resumen (ES)

Descriptive retrospective study of 76 patients between
21 and 75 years old with acute rupture of Achilles tendon
is presented, in which we have valued the epidemiology,
the mechanism of injury and the treatment results by direct
suture type Kessler and rigid cast immobilisation, comparing
it with the results of other series of the literature. Main conclusions
are that acute Achilles tendon rupture is more frequent
in men in the fourth decade and the most frequent
mechanism of injury is sports practice.
The treatment by surgery and cast immobilisation has given
good results. Age, non-weight-bearing and complications
appearance are related with worse results.
