Ultrasound-assisted minimally invasive repair of acute Achilles tendon rupture with a shuttling needle
Ultrasound-assisted MIR reduces operative time by 69.9%, minimizes scarring by 80.2%, and eliminates nerve injury risks while achieving functional parity with OSR. Long-term biomechanical performance and resource accessibility warrant further investigation.
