title: [Treatment of fresh Achilles tendon ruptures with fibrin glue].
abstract: The surgeons of the accident hospital of the relevant professional association at Ludwigshafen have been increasingly resorting to treating fresh ruptures of the Achilles tendon with fibrin adhesive only. Initially the adhesion procedure was supplemented by and adaptational suture. The essential feature of this procedure is that no suturing material whatsoever is implanted into the tendon. The surgical procedure is quicker and simpler than by suturing the tendon rupture. Up to now 52 ruptures of the Achilles tendon have been treated with fibrin adhesive at the hospital under report. Curative results were very satisfactory with the exception of one complication where a renewed injury resulted in another rupture.
