[Achilles tendoplasty (original technic and results)].
The technique consists in an intra-tendinous suture with two thick cotton strands, and in surrounding these strands with the tendon of the small plantar muscle. The entire assembly is coated with a square tendinous flap obtained from the tendinomuscular junction and sutured to itself just like a muff. From the first application of the technique in 1960 to the present a total of 38 cases have been solved, of which 29 have been followed at intervals between 2 and 19 years. The good results that have been obtained justify the interest of the technique. A series of considerations are made on the biomechanisms that induce the lesion, on the macroscopic aspects, and on the microscopic and microangiographic ones.
