Comparison of mini-open repair system and percutaneous repair for acute Achilles tendon rupture.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To reduce incision complications, minimally invasive operative approaches for treatment with acute Achilles tendon rupture have been developed, such as Mini-open repair and percutaneous repair. Which technique is the better surgical option? In the present study, we compared the two surgical procedures- modified Mini-open repair versus percutaneous repair-in the treatment of acute Achilles tendon rupture.

Methods

From January 2016 to November 2018, 68 matched patients with acute Achilles tendon rupture were divided into treatment group (Mini-open with modified Ma-Griffith technique) and control group (the Ma-Griffith technique). The patients were then treated with different surgical techniques and followed up for no less than 24 months, and the functional outcome s
