Abstract
Local steroids in tendoachillitis are frequently used to provide short term relief to the patient, an advantage that is closely associated with increased risk of tendon rupture. Here we are reporting a rare case of bilateral tendoachilles (TA) rupture in a patient following  steroid injections  for  tendoachillitis. The open technique was used for surgical repair.
Keywords : Achilles Tendon, Humans, Risk, Rupture, Tendon Injuries.
