Article Synopsis
  • A study compared two surgical methods, mini transverse-incision repair (2MTIR) and percutaneous repair (PR), for treating acute closed midsubstance Achilles tendon ruptures over a follow-up period from 1 to 5 years.
  • Results indicated that while both techniques had similar rates of rerupture and return to sports, the 2MTIR method showed significantly better outcomes in areas like tightness feeling, heel rising strength, and foot numbness.
  • The 2MTIR technique was found to be less invasive and allowed for quicker recovery, with patients bearing full weight 5-6 weeks after surgery, leading to improved functional results compared to PR.

Objective: To study the in vivo stability of normal and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-injured knee joint before and after epidural anesthesia under 134 N pre-loading and evaluate the influence of muscular tension on the knee stability.

Methods: Eight volunteers with unilateral ACL rupture and normal contralateral knee were enrolled in this study. CT (3D) images and 2 orthogonal images of the knee were captured at 0°, 30°, 60°, and 90° under 134 N pre-loading.
