Surgical management of closed tendoachilles ruptures and evaluation of results
Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Aim and Objective: To study surgical management of closed ruptures of tendoachilles by different surgical techniques, their complications, and functional outcome after surgery. Method: prospective data collection performed on patients aged 15-45 years who were treated for closed tendoachilles ruptures by various surgical techniques over a period of 2years. Results: According to Quigley’s scoring system 60% had excellent result, 25% had good results, 10% had fair results, 5% had poor results. Conclusion: Ruptures were most common in patients with heel pain with trivial and blunt injury mostly degenerative tears. Most ruptures occurred in Zone I. Both Flexor hallucis longus and Peroneus brevis transfers yielded good to excellent results in chronic ruptures >4 weeks old, and with >3cm gap. End to End repair yielded good to excellent result with <4 weeks old and defects less than 3 cm.
