  • Title: Open repair of acute Achilles tendon ruptures.
    Author: Rosenzweig S, Azar FM.
    Journal: Foot Ankle Clin; 2009 Dec; 14(4):699-709. PubMed ID: 19857843.
    Abstract:
    Although the Achilles tendon is the strongest in the body, it also is the most often ruptured. Achilles tendon rupture most often occurs during sports activities in middle-aged men. Operative repair of a ruptured Achilles tendon can be accomplished with a variety of techniques, ranging from open repair, to minimally invasive technique, to endoscopic-assisted repair. This article focuses on open repair of acute Achilles tendon rupture. Surgical techniques, rehabilitation protocol, and the authors' preferred method are described.
