Abstract：
The Achilles tendon is well known as the strongest tendon within the body. Its anatomic composition is unique to allow absorption of extreme loads. Historically, there has been a longstanding belief that rupture of the Achilles tendon occurs within a \"watershed\" region of ischemia. However, experimental data have demonstrated uniform hemodynamic flow throughout the tendon to challenge this widespread notion.
摘要：
众所周知，跟腱是体内最强的肌腱。它的解剖组成是独特的，允许极端负荷的吸收。历史上,长期以来，人们一直认为跟腱断裂发生在缺血的“分水岭”区域内。然而,实验数据表明，整个肌腱的血流动力学均匀，挑战了这一广泛的概念。
