| description | Introduction
The Achilles tendon ruptures are common traumatic injuries. Treatment is usually surgical. Surgery may be open or percutaneous. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes in patients with acute Achilles ruptures treated by minimally invasive Dresden technique.
Material and methods
A prospective study of 15 patients with acute Achilles tendon ruptures. Intraoperative characteristics, hospitalization, functional outcomes and evaluation according to AOFAS score were evaluated. The average follow-up was 18 months.
Results
The results are listed based on the surgical time, hospital stay, time to surgery, weight load and postoperative protocol. The AOFAS at five months was 94.66 points. Return to work activity: 3.53 average months. Return to sport: 6.53 months
Conclusions
The percutaneous technique for the repair of acute Achilles tendon rupture is a good choice, presenting good performance and low complication rate. |
