description Chronic Achilles tendon injury is a challenging problem. A review of the different options available and their technical considerations is required. Reconstruction of the Achilles tendon depends on numerous factors such as the gap between the debrided tendon ends, the presence of a distal stump, and the and presence of scar tissue. Various protocols have been described for reconstruction. Methods of reconstruction vary from direct repair, bridging of the tendon gap with tendon grafts or tendon transfers. We review and enumerate the different protocols enumerated for the reconstruction of chronic Achilles tendon lesions in the literature and look at the authors preferred methods of reconstruction
