Abstract
Achilles tendon disorders are most common in individuals who participate in endurance sports that involve repetitive loading of the foot. The increasing incidence is correlated with an expanding participation of the population in recreational and competitive sports and is therefore one of the more common disorders seen in sports medicine. In the following chapter both acute Achilles tendon disorders such as the partial and full Achilles tendon ruptures as well as more chronic disorders such as Achilles tendinopathy is thoroughly discussed with special attention for elite sportsmen.
