Ruptures of Achilles tendon are a relatively common injury. Ruptures typically occur after the age of 30 years, and are more frequent in people of middle age or older. In children, rupture of the tendon is usually due to avulsion of the tendon from the calcaneus but not within the tendon itself. We describe a 7-year-old girl successfully treated conservatively for acute tear of her Achilles tendon. No general predisposing disease was found. We were unable to find any description of an acute rupture of the Achilles tendon in a child under the age of 10 years.
跟腱断裂是一种相对常见的损伤。断裂通常发生在30岁之后，在中年或老年人群中更为常见。在儿童中，肌腱断裂通常是由于肌腱从跟骨撕脱，而不是肌腱本身内部断裂。我们描述了一名7岁女孩，她的急性跟腱撕裂通过保守治疗成功治愈。未发现任何全身性易感疾病。我们未能找到关于10岁以下儿童急性跟腱断裂的任何描述。
