An Anatomic Single-Suture Trans-osseous Technique for the Repair of Acute Achilles Tendon Ruptures

Several surgical methods for the treatment of acute Achilles tendon ruptures have been described. Whether open or percutaneous, these methods may be subdivided into two categories: all-soft-tissue procedures or procedures with stabilization of the Achilles tendon directly on the os calcaneum. The fo...

description Several surgical methods for the treatment of acute Achilles tendon ruptures have been described. Whether open or percutaneous, these methods may be subdivided into two categories: all-soft-tissue procedures or procedures with stabilization of the Achilles tendon directly on the os calcaneum. The former comprise end-to-end suturing of the tendon stumps, the latter include additional stabilization of the sutures on the calcaneus either with bone anchors or by means of trans-osseous sutures. We describe a new, simple, anatomic, trans-osseous suture technique to stabilize the Achilles tendon on the calcaneus.
