Direct repair of the chronic ochronotic Achilles tendon rupture: a case report
We reported a case of AKU with chronic Achilles tendon rupture in which direct repair using scar tissue between the tendon stumps was effective. Careful selection of the surgical procedure for the treatment of chronic ochronotic Achilles tendon rupture is recommended because of concomitant ochronotic tendinopathy and osteopenia/osteoporosis.
