Early satisfactory results of percutaneous repair in neglected achilles tendon rupture.

Purpose: This investigation aimed to study the outcome of percutaneous repair of Achilles tendon ruptures regarding patient-reported and objective outcomes.

Methods: This is a retrospective review of a cohort of patients (n = 24) who underwent percutaneous repair of neglected Achilles rupture in the period between 2013 and 2019. Included patients were adults with closed injuries, presented 4-10 weeks after rupture, with intact deep sensation.

Highly unstable complex C3-type distal femur fracture: can double plating via a modified Olerud extensile approach be a standby solution?

Background: Multiplanar complex C3-type unstable distal femoral fractures present many challenges in terms of approach and fixation. This prospective study investigates a possible solution to these problems through double plating with autogenous bone grafting via a modified Olerud extensile approach.

Materials And Methods: Twelve patients with closed C3-type injuries were included; eight of them were male, and their mean age was 33.
