Our surgical algorithm for chronic Achilles tendon rupture, based on gap size. Lesser than 2 cm a direct end-to-end suture was performed. Between 2 cm and 6 cm, autologous techniques were used. If the gap was greater than 6 cm, reconstruction was done using an Achilles tendon allograft with calcaneal bone block.
