Abstract
Objective: Treatment of symptomatic Achilles tendinopathy.
Indications: Impingement between the calcaneus and the Achilles tendon.
Contraindications: General contraindications. Active soft tissue infection.
Surgical technique: Incision medial and lateral to the distal portion of the Achilles tendon at the level of the lower ankle joint, if necessary under X‑ray control. Blunt preparation of the two portals (laterally, taking into account the course of the sural nerve) towards the posterior process of the calcaneus with a curved clamp. Insertion of the arthroscope into the lateral portal and the shaver into the medial portal. Resection of the bursa and visualization of the insertion area of the tendon. Insertion of the bone acromionizer or a burr to resect the offending bone; changing the portal and removing bone portions on the medial side of the calcaneus. If necessary, additional transachillary incision to remove the bone near the insertion. Wound closure.
Postoperative management: Immobilization of the foot in equinus position for 3-5 days in a dorsal splint. Retention in a walker for a further 2 weeks after the swelling has subsided. Weight bearing after 3 weeks.
Results: A total of 26 patients were retrospectively evaluated with a mean follow-up time of 25 ± 6 months. The Foot Function Index (FFI) improved from 62 preoperatively to 7 points at the last follow-up examination. The final visual analog scale foot and ankle (VAS-FA) score was recorded as 89. Residual symptoms were present in 15% of patients.
期刊介绍:
Orthopedics and Traumatology is directed toward all orthopedic surgeons, trauma-tologists, hand surgeons, specialists in sports injuries, orthopedics and rheumatology as well as gene-al surgeons who require access to reliable information on current operative methods to ensure the quality of patient advice, preoperative planning, and postoperative care.
The journal presents established and new operative procedures in uniformly structured and extensively illustrated contributions. All aspects are presented step-by-step from indications, contraindications, patient education, and preparation of the operation right through to postoperative care. The advantages and disadvantages, possible complications, deficiencies and risks of the methods as well as significant results with their evaluation criteria are discussed. To allow the reader to assess the outcome, results are detailed and based on internationally recognized scoring systems.
Orthopedics and Traumatology facilitates effective advancement and further education for all those active in both special and conservative fields of orthopedics, traumatology, and general surgery, offers sup-port for therapeutic decision-making, and provides – more than 30 years after its first publication – constantly expanding and up-to-date teaching on operative techniques.
