[Clinico-statistical review of 74 cases of subcutaneous rupture of the Achilles tendon].
The Authors report 74 cases of subcutaneous hole of Achille's tendon that were treated surgically. 52 patients were clinically controlled at a distance from 1 to 5 years. The functional result at a distance is good in 67,3% of cases, satisfactory in 25%, insufficient in 4%. They point out an hig incidence of local post-operating complications (29,8%), especially when the paratendinea medial incision has been made. The authors suggest to opt for a paratendinea lateral incision and, experimentally, to drop the use of hemostatic string.
