Conditions

  • Acute Rupture of Achilles Tendon

Interventions

OTHER

percutaneous repair with an intraoperative assisted ultrasound

Under general or regional anesthesia, the patient laid in prone position In group A, an intraoperative ultrasound was done by a radiologist before the repair .

OTHER

percutaneous repair without an intraoperative assisted ultrasound

For patients in group B, the course of the sural nerve was determined according to the technique described by Blackmon et al.The medial and lateral borders of both stumps were outlined by palpation with identification of the gap in-between. We used the technique described byMaffulli et al with six stab incisions, one cm each. Four incisions were on medial and lateral edge of the proximal stump and the other two were around distal stump.
