  • Title: Tendon adhesion after percutaneous repair of the Achilles tendon: a case report.
    Author: Ahn JH, Choy WS.
    Journal: J Foot Ankle Surg; 2011; 50(1):93-5. PubMed ID: 20833567.
    Abstract:
    Percutaneous repair of the Achilles tendon is known to minimize tendon adhesions and wound complication through a minimally invasive technique. The usually reported complications are sural nerve injury and inadequate contact of the tendon stumps, which can lead to rerupture or tendon lengthening. We experienced an interesting case of Achilles tendon adhesion after percutaneous repair, which had been initially misdiagnosed as a rerupture. To our knowledge, this is the only report of Achilles tendon adhesion as a complication after percutaneous repair, which stresses the importance of functional postoperative rehabilitation.
