title: [Use of collagen films for bridging defects in sliding tissue during achillotenotomy and Achilles tendon ruptures].
abstract: After Achillean tendon rupture defects of the gliding tissue can often be observed. To prevent fixation of the tendon by scar tissue formations we recommend the use of collagen films in the defective area to isolate the tendon surface.
