Abstract
Together, the muscle bellies of the medial and lateral gastrocnemius along with the soleus conjoin to make the Achilles tendon. The Achilles tendon is the most commonly ruptured tendon. It is important to take into account the length-tension relationship of muscle and anatomic positioning of the Achilles when treating Achilles tendon ruptures.
Level of Evidence: Level V, expert opinion.
