OBJECTIVE: To review the anatomy, etiology, therapy strategy of Achilles tendon injury and its related advances in recent years. METHODS: The related articles in recent years were extensively reviewed. RESULTS: There still were many arguments about the effect of corticosteroid on the treatment of tendon disease. Fluoqmnolone was found to be related with Achilles tendon injury. Acute rupture of Achilles tendon could be treated with open operation, percutaneous repair, or conservative therapy. For old rupture, many kinds of operations could be selected. CONCLUSION: The growth factors found in recent years provide us with new prospect for future treatment of Achilles tendon injury.
