Treatment of Calcific Insertional Achilles Tendinopathy: Knotless Internal Brace versus Knot-Tying Suture Bridge
Background: This study aimed to compare the knotless internal brace technique and the knot-tying suture bridge technique via the medial approach in the treatment of calcific Achilles tendinopathy. Methods: The clinical data of 25 cases of calcific Achilles tendinopathy in which nonoperative treatmen...

description | Background: This study aimed to compare the knotless internal brace technique and the knot-tying suture bridge technique via the medial approach in the treatment of calcific Achilles tendinopathy. Methods: The clinical data of 25 cases of calcific Achilles tendinopathy in which nonoperative treatments had failed were retrospectively collected. All the patients received Achilles tendon debridement and Haglund deformity excision through a medial approach, followed by repair using the knotless internal brace technique or the knot-tying suture bridge technique. Pain was evaluated by using the visual analog scale (VAS). The American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS) questionnaire was administered preoperatively and postoperatively. Results: The mean follow-up time was 2.6 (range 2–3.5) years. There were no wound complications and no Achilles tendon ruptures. At 1 year postoperatively, the internal brace group was superior to the suture bridge group in terms of the VAS scores (p = 0.003). However, no differences were noticed between the two groups in either the VAS or the AOFAS scores at 2 years postoperatively. Conclusions: The medial approach in combination with the suture bridge technique was effective in treating calcific Achilles tendinopathy. The knotless internal brace technique involved less pain compared to the knot-tying suture bridge technique only at the early postoperative stage. |
