Surgical outcomes in patients with Achilles tendon rupture-a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There are two main methods used to treat Achilles tendon rupture (ATR): conservative treatment and surgical intervention. Surgical techniques are divided into three main categories: open surgical repair, mini-open surgical repair, and percutaneous repair (PR). We aimed to compare clinical outcomes in individuals with ATR who were treated with PR, primary repair, and flexor hallucis longus augmentation (FHL-A) with those treated with V-Y plasty and FHL-A.

Methods

The study involved 54 patients who underwent ATR surgical intervention retrospectively. Thirty-two of these were identified as acute and 22 were chronic rupture patients. PR was performed in 32 patients, primary repair and FHL-A in 14 patients, and V-Y plasty and FHL-A in eight patients.
