Several surgical methods for the treatment of acute Achilles tendon ruptures have been described. Whether open or percutaneous, these methods may be subdivided into two categories: all-soft-tissue procedures or procedures with stabilization of the Achilles tendon directly on the os calcaneum. The former comprise end-to-end suturing of the tendon st...

... it has been shown that, in acute tendon ruptures some degree of chronic tendon degeneration is almost always present [8]. Very often, the stumps of the ruptured AT have a spaghetti-like appearance ( Figure 4). The poor quality of the ruptured AT ends bears a significant risk for treatment failure. A. The typical dorsal gap of the skin at the level of the achilles tendon rupture (blue arrow). ...

We present a case of a 41-year-old male amateur soccer player with no comorbidities, who experienced a rerupture of the Achilles tendon 5 years after his initial end-to-end plasty. To address this, we opted for a full-thickness reconstruction using a graft under the Clearant Process of the Achilles tendon. As an innovative approach, we proposed an...
Purpose
The aim of this study was to assess the biomechanical performance of different screw configurations for fixation of Sanders type II B joint-depression calcaneal fractures.
Methods
Fifteen human cadaveric lower limbs were amputated and Sanders II B fractures were simulated. The specimens were randomized to three groups for fixation with diff...
Tears of the gluteus medius and minimus have emerged as significant contributors to lateral hip pain and functional impairment. Surgical intervention reliably delivers pain alleviation and ability to return to activities. Nevertheless, conventional open procedures entail substantial incisions, extensive tissue damage, and protracted recovery. Endos...
Recurrent Achilles tendon ruptures, or “re-ruptures,” occur at the site of a previous Achilles tendon rupture and are uncommon. Recurrent ruptures occurring either proximal or distal to the first rupture are called “second ruptures” and are even more uncommon. Achilles tendon sleeve avulsions constitute 2.6% of all primary Achilles tendon ruptures....
Background: Haglund’s deformity, which is characterized by a bony prominence of the posterosuperior aspect of the calcaneus, causes posterior heel pain. To date, there is no standard radiographic parameter to diagnose symptomatic Haglund’s deformity. Herein, we proposed novel radiographic measurements to distinguish between patients with and withou...
