[A new method of surgical treatment of patients with chronic distal Achilles tendon rupture].

Objective: To improve postoperative outcomes in patients with distal Achilles tendon rupture by using of a new method of surgical treatment.

Material And Methods: The authors proposed a new method to restore the Achilles tendon for its distal rupture (within 2 cm from attachment to the calcaneus). This approach implies forming a canal in the calcaneus and minimally invasive harvesting of the plantar tendon.

[New surgical method for chronic rupture of the Achilles tendon].

Aim: To improve the outcomes in patients with chronic ruptures of the Achilles tendon followed by advanced diastase and reduced function of the gastrocnemius muscle by using of new surgical method.

Material And Methods: The authors proposed a new method of Achilles tendon repair for diastase over 10 cm. It imposes transposition of the tendons of short fibular muscle and posterior tibial muscle.
