Abstract
Rheumatoid disease as a cause for achilles tendon rupture has been inferred but never reported to my knowledge. A patient with confirmed achilles tendon rupture from rheumatoid disease has been free from disease for nine years following tenoplasty and synoviobursectomy of the achilles tendon.
