[A technical stratagem to avoid skin complications in surgical repair of ruptures of the Achilles tendon].
The authors have advocated the longitudinal division of the anterior aspect of the tendon sheath to allow suture of the posterior aspect of the sheath in the course of repair of tendo Achillis ruptures. This technique thus allows interposition of tissue between the tendon and the skin and was used with success in 19 cases.
