Article Synopsis
- Percutaneous repair is an effective and safe approach for treating acute Achilles tendon ruptures, showing fewer wound complications than traditional open surgery.
- The novel technique involves five small skin incisions that strategically minimize nerve injury risk and uses 16 suture threads with an external knot to enhance strength and reduce re-rupture chances.
- Further clinical studies are needed to determine if this new cruciate suture method leads to improved outcomes compared to existing percutaneous repair methods.
Introduction: A rupture of the Achilles tendon with a delay in diagnosis or treatment for more than 6 weeks is considered a chronic tear. Local tendon transfer procedures can be used in chronic Achilles tendon ruptures. This study evaluated the outcome, return to sport, and complications of local tendon transfer in patients with chronic Achilles tendon rupture.
