Mid-term functional outcome after distal Achilles tendon rupture anchoring screw repair in elderly osteopenia as a reliable technique: A case report

The management of distal Achilles tendon rupture is still controversial, especially in elderly patients, due to poor bone quality and stump integrity. One the proposed repair techniques by using an anchoring screw. Here we report mid-term follow-up two patients with treated Two males their sixties came outpatient clinic similar complaints intermittent pain, reddening, ankle swelling after falling. Both were diagnosed open a Krakow suture screws. Functional outcome evaluation postoperatively found good outcome. Previous studies have shown that technique better biomechanically than ordinary sutures. Repairs this can withstand greater forces loads before they fail. An screw for total provides results osteopenia.
