[Surgical treatment of fresh subcutaneous rupture of the Achilles tendon and results of its treatment].
In the years between 1981 and 1986 32 patients with a subcutaneous rupture of the Achilles tendon were operated on. Two different surgical techniques were preferred: using the tendon of the m. plantaris as suture according to Streli, and Bunnell's suture. In a clinical exploration 17 patients could be recorded. According to the classification of Trillat, 70.6% of the patients show a very good result. That means that the patients have the same sports and professional efficiency as before the injury and operation, a painless Achilles tendon, a stable heel and unrestricted mobility.
