Summary

The aim of this study is to Compare functional outcome and the recovery time of reinsertion of achilles tendon VS zadek osteotomy in insertional achilles tendinopathy.

Conditions

  • Insertional Achilles Tendinopathy

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Reinsertion achilles tendon

Prone position, tourniquet over the thigh, direct midline incision, 2.0 cm proximal the insertion of the Achilles tendon up to 4.0 cm prolonged distal to the insertion is recommended. This is followed by a totally disinsertion of TA. At least a debridement of inflammatory or necrotic tissue as well as the removal of bony tissue is performed. tendon is re-inserted by 2-4 anchors.

PROCEDURE

Zadek osteotomy

lateral position, under spinal anesthesia, tourniquet over the thigh, oblique lateral heel incision starting just anterior to the Achilles tendon, at a 45 angle to the long axis of the calcaneus posterior to the course of the sural nerve. A calcaneal osteotomy was then performed, two Kirschner wires, were then inserted from the posterior aspect of the calcaneus, over which cannulated screws were used for fixation of the osteotomy.
