Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: The Achilles tendon is the most frequently ruptured tendon in the human body. There is no consensus on whether surgical or conservative treatment is the best option. However, surgical treatment has a good recovery rate and lower risk of re-rupture. Present method is used where there is large defect for attachment, no remnants available in distal portion, when avulsed from its calcaneal attachment and in neglected ruptures with large defects. Case report: In this case report, we describe a novel method of surgical reconstruction of acute rupture of tendo-achilles. All cases treated with our novel method were mobilised with Partial weight bearing at 8 weeks the results were excellent with no cases reporting wound infection, suture gap or failures. Conclusion: Present technique of surgical repair of acute tendo-achilles rupture is a promising method for future
