A Technique Update For A Minimally Invasive Operative Approach To Achilles Tendon Repair

Abstract

The management of Achilles tendon rupture has remained a contentious topic. Non-operative management has gained popularity due to the problems associated with traditional open repair. This paper outlines a minimally invasive approach, that intends to minimise the rate of re-rupture, and is not associated with the more inconvenient complications of open repair.
