(A) The FHL is mobilized into proximal wound, then a 4.5-mm hole is drilled 1 cm distal to the insertion of the Achilles tendon and 1.5 cm anterior to the posterior calcaneal cortex (medial to ...

The minimally invasive midsubstance surgical technique for acute midsubstance Achilles tendon ruptures passes sutures longitudinally through the distal Achilles stump and anchors proximal sutures ...

Once proximal fixation is achieved, the sutures on each side of the tendon should be neatly spread apart in the following order from proximal to distal: first suture; second suture; looped, green ...

The proximal end of the tendon rupture was palpated and a 2 cm horizontal skin incision made 1 cm distal to this point (fig 2A ⇓,B). The paratenon was incised longitudinally and retracted. Other than ...

Results At the insertion, running is the only activity which has an immediate effect on the Achilles blood flow (p < 0.001). This significant increase in blood flow due to running is also found in the ...
