A method of combined alloplasty of old injuries of the Achilles tendon is described. The method is based on the use of the allogenic Achilles tendon and autotransplant cut from the tendinous strained musculus gastrocnemius. Operations were performed in 22 patients. The results were good in all the cases. This method is recommended for the treatment of fresh and old ruptures of the Achilles tendon with a big diastasis between its ends.
