Percutaneous Repair of Acute Achilles Tendon Rupture Using Endoscopy-Assisted Krackow Suture Technique

There are many surgical treatment methods for Achilles tendon rupture. In endoscopy-assisted percutaneous repair, tendon suturing is observable. This eliminates some of the disadvantages of percutaneous repair, especially the difficulty in assessing the contact status of the torn ends. The Krackow technique is currently the standard suture method for the open repair of Achilles tendon rupture. In this study, we aimed to describe a surgical procedure in which we observed the repair and contact of the tendon ends with the help of endoscopy and repaired the Achilles tendon with percutaneous Krackow locked sutures.

Abstract

There are many surgical treatment methods for Achilles tendon rupture. In endoscopy-assisted percutaneous repair, tendon suturing is observable. This eliminates some of the disadvantages of percutaneous repair, especially the difficulty in assessing the contact status of the torn ends. The Krackow technique is currently the standard suture method for the open repair of Achilles tendon rupture. In this study, we aimed to describe a surgical procedure in which we observed the repair and contact of the tendon ends with the help of endoscopy and repaired the Achilles tendon with percutaneous Krackow locked sutures.
