Anatomical and Mathematical Investigations Concerning to the Genesis of the Traumatic Achflles Tendon-Rupture ùqummary. Basing on anatomical measurements, it was demonstrated, that the Achilles tendon approximates the Tibia, when dorsal flexion in the ankle joint is present. Thus it was developed a particular mathematical model in order to evaluate the dynamie tension -effieaey acting on the Aehilles tendon. Our investigations show, that the tendon's limit of charge (700 kp) is overload at an angular position of 34 ° (dorsal flexion). Coneerning to skiing, that means, that at a speed of 30 resp. 50 km/hr a brake --straight line less than 4 resp. 11 m may eause rupture of the tendon.
