Treatment of Insertional Achilles Pathology With Dorsal Wedge Calcaneal Osteotomy in Athletes.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Insertional Achilles tendinopathy and retrocalcaneal bursitis is difficult to treat, and several operative techniques have been used after failure of conservative management. Dorsal wedge calcaneal osteotomy has been described for the treatment of insertional Achilles pathology. It was hypothesized that dorsal wedge calcaneal osteotomy would be an effective and safe method for the treatment of athletes with insertional Achilles pathology unrelieved by nonoperative measures. METHODS:Fifty-two athletes (64 feet) who had painful Achilles tendon syndrome unrelieved by 6 months of nonoperative measures were treated surgically. Dorsally based wedge calcaneal osteotomy was performed through a lateral approach, and 2 staples were used for fixation. Patients were scored pre- and postoperatively with the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot and Victorian Institute of Sports of Australia-Achilles (VISA-A) scores. RESULTS:At a minimum follow-up of 3 years, the patients' AOFAS and VISA-A scores improved from 59.5 ± 15.0 and 65.9 ± 11.1 preoperatively to 95.7 ± 6.2 and 90.2 ± 8.4 postoperatively, respectively. Clinical results were considered excellent in 38 patients, good in 12 patients, and fair in 2 patients. Return to previous sports activity time was 21 (SD, 8.0) weeks. One patient necessitated a revision operation. CONCLUSION:Operative treatment of insertional Achilles pathology in athletes with dorsal closing wedge calcaneal osteotomy was a safe and effective method that allowed for a quicker return to previous level of sports activities compared with other techniques. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE:Level IV, retrospective case series.

  • Influence of Geometry and Depth of Resections on Bone Support for Total Ankle Replacement.

    abstract:BACKGROUND:Aseptic component loosening is a leading cause of revision for total ankle replacement. Different operative approaches for resecting the tibia and talus impact the bony support for the prostheses due to variations in both bone density and resection area, and may therefore impact loosening performance.
