Background: Chronic Achilles tendon ruptures are uncommon and increase long-term morbidity when untreated. There is no standard treatment for this condition. Methods: rupture was repaired in 10 patients by harvesting the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) using a minimally invasive technique. It then transferred to calcaneus remnant used bridge gap reconstructing itself. The were assessed American Orthopaedic Foot Ankle Score (AOFAS) Ankle-Hindfoot Scale. Results: Patients evaluated...
Inversion ankle injuries are extremely common, sometimes causing injury to the peroneus brevis tendon. If more than 50% of tendon is injured, it oftentimes requires tenodesis adjacent longus Both Pulvertaft (PT) and side-to-side (SS) techniques have been used for joining 2 tendons. The purpose this study was compare strength stiffness these techniques.Five matched pairs cadaver specimens were randomized receive either an SS or PT Following tenodesis, tested failure load, displacement, energy...
