The management of acute Achilles tendon rupture has been well established and is often treated with interrupted tenorrhaphy. While surgical site infection, rerupture and ankle contracture has been reported as potential complications, the tendon often heals uneventfully, and reports of complication other than mentioned above are extremely rare. We report a case of a common peroneal nerve injury which occurred after Achilles tendon repair surgery. The injury may have occurred following compartment syndrome from the anteriorly place long leg splint. To our knowledge, this is the first report in the literature.
