Purpose: Chronic insertional Achilles tendinopathy is a common pathology in the over 50 years old population. Patients not relieved with conservative treatment had to undergo surgical intervention for the management. This study evaluates the clinical outcome of FHL transfer in such patients using validated ankle functional scores.
