Our patient presented with a 1-year history of right sided Achilles tendon pain and weakness due to partial intrasubstance tear. The injury was refractory to conservative treatment, leading to a trial injection of microfragmented adipose tissue. Progressive healing and improved function were documented on physical exam and sonographically at subsequent follow-up appointments. About 4 weeks following the injection, the patient was able to return to his regular activity level. At the 6 month follow-up appointment, the patient continued to be pain free and had resumed all prior activities without limitations. This case highlights the potential microfragmented adipose tissue has as a regenerative treatment modality for the management of partial Achilles tendon tears.
