OUR EXPERIENCE WITH MINIMALLY INVASIVE TREATMENT OF RUPTURES OF THE ACHILLES TENDON

Abstract

Traumatic ruptures of Achilles tendon become more frequent in the last few decades because of the increased sport activities. This fact urges the orthopedics to search for more effective methods with lower patient morbidity and shorter period for recovery. The conclusions of the study prove very low complication rate, short period for recovery and patient satisfaction after any of the presented minimally invasive techniques. It makes percutaneous minimally invasive Achilles tendon suture preferable method in the daily traumatology practice.
