The calcaneal tendon, also known as the tendon of Achilles, is a posterior leg tendon â a fibrous connective tissue that joins muscles in the back of the leg. It is formed when the soleus muscle tendon joins with the gastrocnemius tendon. The gastrocnemius (calf) and soleus muscles are part of the superficial posterior compartment group, which also contains the popliteus and plantaris muscles. This group is located at the back of the lower leg, close to its surface.
