  • Title: Team physician #6. Surgical treatment of Achilles tendon rupture.
    Author: Roberts C, Rosenblum S, Uhl R, Fetto J.
    Journal: Orthop Rev; 1989 Apr; 18(4):513-6. PubMed ID: 2654830.
    Abstract:
    The ideal treatment of Achilles tendon ruptures has always been controversial. Nonoperative treatment has been criticized for its high rerupture rate and surgical treatment has been criticized for its high complication rate. This paper describes a surgical method of repair that can be used for acute or late ruptures, and has been associated with a low complication and rerupture rate.
