Description
Chester Ian Barroga and co-authors report a heel bone break with a lost chunk of Achilles tendon healed with no tendon rebuild, in a case report from 2026. Such loss with skin gaps most often needs grafts or flaps, which are hard in dirty or low resource settings.
A thirty five year old man was cleaned in stages, held with the foot pointed, and given suction wound care. By five months the wound had closed, and scans showed the tendon rejoined by scar. He walked on his own with near full motion and mild ache. The case backs plain care in picked cases.
