Abstract:
BACKGROUND:We investigated a previously reported technique for the repair of acute Achilles tendon ruptures using the percutaneous Achillon suture system (Intega Life Sciences Corporation, Plainsboro, NJ). METHODS:Twenty-five patients with Achilles tendon ruptures were studied prospectively with a minimum of 12 months followup. A single 2- to 3-cm horizontal incision and the Achillon suture system were used. Early rehabilitation and an active range-of-motion brace were instituted. RESULTS:There were no wound problems, sural nerve injuries, or re-ruptures. All patients were able to return to their previous sporting activities by 6 months. CONCLUSIONS:This independent study confirms that the technique offers patients a safe operative procedure for repair of acute Achilles tendon ruptures that allows early active rehabilitation.
