Surgical Achilles tendon repair is a frequent procedure done by orthopedic surgeons. The injury rate has increased through the years to 21.5/100,000 individuals per year as of 2011 (Lantto et al. Scand J Med Sci Sports. 25:e133-8, 2015). Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques have been around since the late 1970s and aim to reduce wound complications, improve patient outcomes, and achieve earlier return to sport with low rerupture rates. This chapter focuses on the evolution of MIS techniques and current practice.
