Endoscopic Flexor Hallucis Longus Transfer for Chronic Noninsertional Achilles Tendon Rupture.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND::Operative management of chronic Achilles tendon ruptures is challenging, and numerous techniques have been described. Risk of infection and wound breakdown have been described after open techniques, and minimally invasive methods have been proposed to avoid them. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical and radiological results obtained after endoscopic flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon transfer in patients with chronic Achilles tendon rupture. METHODS::Between 2012 and 2015, a total of 22 patients were endoscopically treated for chronic Achilles tendon rupture. Mean age was 69 years (range, 59-84 years). Mean follow-up was 30.5 months (range, 18-46 months). Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was obtained and tendon gap measured. An MRI was obtained at 9 to 12 months following surgery to evaluate Achilles tendon changes. RESULTS::Preoperative MRI examination showed a mean tendon gap of 6.3 cm (range, 3-10.7 cm). The MRI control was obtained only in 12 patients, and a normal or close to normal Achilles tendon was observed in all but 1 patient. The mean American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society score increased from 55 preoperatively (range, 26-75) to 91 (range, 74-100) at final follow-up. All patients returned to their daily activities without difficulties. No patients reported complaints or symptomatic deficits of great toe flexion strength. No major complications were encountered. CONCLUSION::Chronic Achilles tendon ruptures were successfully treated by an all-endoscopic procedure. The endoscopically assisted FHL transfer provided excellent results while benefiting from the minimally invasive procedure advantages. However, it entailed some technical challenges and may not be suitable for less experienced surgeons. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE::Level IV, retrospective case series.
