The modern injury, Achilles Heel is when the tendon just above the rear of the heel is strained and feels sore.
The modern phrase, Achilles Heel, refers to any secret weakness that, if discovered, could bring great harm.

An injury to a person's Achilles Tendon can be severe, but severing the tendon disconnects the calf muscle from the foot. That separation renders the leg useless for walking. I have heard that the tendon (if snapped from the heel) will recoil up the leg to the knee. The only way to repair it is to reach up the back of the leg and pull it back down to the foot. (It sounds excruciatingly painful...)
In addition, this is often used to described the one key weakness in a plan that can cause the whole plan to fall apart.

The origin of this phrase is from Greek mythology: Thetis bathed his son, Achilles in river Styx to make him immortal. But a leaf fell to his heel, leaving the skin untouched by the water. In Trojan War, Paris killed Achilles by shooting his heel, which is now called Achilles tendon.
