In this study we present a method of an operative treatment of Achilles tendon injuries using reconstruction surgery with a reversed flap from the tendinous part of the triceps muscle of the calf. The method improves blood supply to the injured tendon, as well as its endurance by using a flap with good blood supply. The treatment outcome being very good in over 90% of cases justifies the method as the first choice of treatment.
