Patients who underwent surgical repair of complete rupture of the Achilles tendon were enrolled, together with a control group. The data for the patient group were assessed at 12, 24, and 48\u2009weeks postoperatively. All patients were evaluated by the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Scale. Values for the thickness, the cross\u2010sectional area, strain elastography, and shear wave elastography (SWE) were compared on a high\u2010resolution Doppler ultrasound system.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The percentage of the red\u2010to\u2010yellow code was the highest (57.7%) at the 12th\u2010week evaluation, and the percentage of the green code was the highest at the 24th\u2010week (53.8%) and 48th\u2010week (69.2%) evaluations. With respect to color codes on the nonruptured side, the percentage of green increased and the percentage of blue decreased over time (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .002). The SWE values increased over time on the ruptured side and decreased on the nonruptured side.
