Detractors of conservative treatment argue that this option leads to a greater risk of a re-rupture when compared to surgical treatment. SWE is a convenient noninvasive method to determine the progress of the healing process after tendon injury. The body then heals the tendon in the appropriate position. The Achilles tendon, which is about 12-15 cm long and comprises both the gastrocnemius and the soleus tendons, is the thickest, strongest and largest tendon in the human body. Introduction. endobj

The acute rupture of the Achilles tendon is a protracted injury. The Achilles tendon is the biggest and strongest tendon in the human body and is formed by the tendons of the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles which both insert at the calcaneus.
