It usually tears completely, and partial rupture rarely occurs. The injury usually occurs at the narrowest point of the tendon, two to six centimeters above the base of the heel bone, in the so-called 'waist' of the Achilles tendon. Occasionally, a Achilles tendon rupture occurs in the area where it inserts on the heel. read more
