A large single-centre series assessing the Achillon® suture system for repair of acute midsubstance achilles tendon ruptures

Abstract

Active patients may benefit from surgical repair of the achilles tendon with the aim of preserving functional length and optimising push-off power. A mini-open device assisted technique has the potential to reduce wound complications, but risks nerve injury. We present the largest published series of midsubstance achilles tendon repairs using the Achillon® device.
