Abstract

22 – year old female, collegiate volleyball player ruptured her Achilles tendon during a collegiate volleyball game. Patient felt a sharp pain in her right calf right before she was transitioning at the net and felt like someone kicked or stepped on her. Physical examination revealed a palpable defect at the non – insertional zone of the Achilles and a near complete tear of the Achilles fibers. The diagnosis of the Achilles tendon rupture was based upon initial physical examination of the foot and ankle, a point of care diagnostic ultrasound and later confirmed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Different treatment options were discussed including the knotless PARS technique which aligned more readily with the patient’s goals and plans post-surgery/injury. There was a collaboration between the orthopedic surgeon, athletic trainer, and physical therapist to execute a safe and effective treatment plan and progressive rehabilitation plan to return the patient to pre-injury competitive levels.
