Outcomes After Percutaneous Zadek Osteotomy for Insertional Achilles Tendinopathy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Surgical treatment of insertional Achilles tendinopathy (IAT) historically consists of Achilles tendon debridement with reattachment and excision of the posterosuperior calcaneal prominence with or without a gastrocnemius recession. Zadek osteotomy (ZO) is an alternative to an open midline splitting approach. The purpose of this study was to analyze patient-reported outcomes and complications after percutaneously performed ZO with minimum 2 years' follow-up.

Methods

One hundred eight cases treated with percutaneous ZO with a minimum 2-year follow-up were retrospectively reviewed. Postoperative complications and patient satisfaction were evaluated. Foot Function Index (FFI) and visual analog scale (VAS) scores were recorded at preoperative and follow-up appointment
