level runners has been estimated between 7% and 9%, 1 and 30% of patients have a …

Background: The Achilles tendon, the largest and strongest tendon in the human body, is
nevertheless one of the tendons which most commonly undergoes a complete …

Background: This prospective randomized trial with a mean fourteen-year follow-up
compared simple end-to-end repair with fascial flap-augmented repair for acute Achilles …

Purpose This scoping review aims to systematically map and summarise the available
evidence on the management of chronic Achilles ruptures, whilst identifying prognostic …

Achilles tendon ruptures, if neglected or identified late, lead to impairments in function and
gait. Surgical reconstruction is typically required to restore the resting length and tension to …

Background Surgical management of chronic Tendo Achillis (TA) ruptures usually requires
tendon grafting procedures. Several techniques have been described. We examined the …

Background: Minimally invasive repair of acute Achilles tendon ruptures has been
performed for several years, resulting in reduced morbidity as compared with open repair …

Purpose After four weeks from injury, tears of the Achilles tendon are considered chronic.
Their management is challenging, and the use of a graft is suggested when the gap …

Abstract Background Acute Achilles tendon rupture is a common injury and when missed
leads to the development of a chronic Achilles tendon rupture. Studies suggest surgical …

We hypothesised that a minimally invasive peroneus brevis tendon transfer would be
effective for the management of a chronic rupture of the Achilles tendon. In 17 patients (three …
