Open re-rupture of the Achilles tendon after surgical treatment
The rate of re-rupture of Achilles tendon after surgical treatment were reported to 1.7-5.6% previously. Re-rupture of Achilles tendon generally occurs subcutaneously. We experienced two rare cases of the open re-ruptures of Achilles tendon with a transverse wound perpendicular to the primary surgical incision. Re-rupture occurred 4 and 13 weeks after surgical treatment. We suggest that open re...
متن کاملWeakness in end-range plantar flexion after Achilles tendon repair.
BACKGROUND Separation of tendon ends after Achilles tendon repair may affect the tendon repair process and lead to postoperative end-range plantarflexion weakness. HYPOTHESIS Patients will have disproportionate end-range plantarflexion weakness after Achilles tendon repair. STUDY DESIGN Descriptive laboratory study. METHODS Four-strand core suture repairs of Achilles tendon were performed...
متن کاملMR Imaging of the Achilles Tendon after Surgical Repair
Achilles tendon tear is common and increasingly frequent. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the modality of choice for radiological evaluation. It is accurate to assess the status and integrity of the tendon with well documented features. In this article, the MR findings of a normal Achilles tendon as well as common diseases like insertional and noninsertional tendinosis, chronic tendinosis w...
متن کاملSurgical treatment of chronic Achilles tendon rupture.
UNLABELLED Chronic Achilles tendon ruptures are often challenging to repair because of muscle and tendon atrophy, retraction, and short distal stumps. We undertook a retrospective investigation of 14 patients who were treated with the Ligament Advanced Reinforcement System (LARS) ligament for the treatment of chronic, neglected rupture of the Achilles tendon. The patients pursued a course of ea...
متن کاملNo Alteration of the Neuromuscular Performance of Plantar-Flexor Muscles After Achilles Tendon Vibration
Context: Prolonged tendon vibration may induce muscle fatigue, as assessed by a decrease in maximal force production. It remains unknown, however, whether the decrease in muscle strength after prolonged Achilles tendon vibration is related to the vibration frequency. Objective: To assess the maximal capacity of plantar-flexor (PF) neuromuscular function before and after prolonged Achilles tendo...
