Scar from Achilles tendon surgery to repair an injury in a 55-year-old man. The Achilles tendon is the thickest and strongest tendon in the human body. It joins the calf muscles to the heel bone in the foot. Damage to the tendon can range from inflammation and strain, to a tear and a complete rupture. The latter requires surgery to repair the tendon. | |
