Abstract

There is no consensus on the treatment of acute RUPTUREs of the Achilles tendon. We have chosen surgical technique with early muscle stimulation. This study analyses possibility of functional recovery and complications in athletes. During 1986 to 1996 we treated surgically 59 patients who had Achilles tendons RUPTUREs with early musculotendinous Stimulation. Among the patients 45 male and 14 female had a mean age of 25 years. We have used Bosworth's technique with gastrecenemius nap procedure.Immediately after surgery, weight bearing with below-the-knee cast was initiated for 6 weeks followed by rehabilitation. There was no local major complication deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. Only one patient suffered from a traumatic rerupture one month after surgery. Mean value of the calf atrophy was less than 1 cm. 93% of patients returned to previous activity levels and 78% of patients returned to their usual sport activity. Like this study recent results confirm the low complication and recurrence rate of the SURGICAL TREATMENT. Percutaneous technique and conservative treatments seem to be worse for rerupture and sportive functional recovery. It is concluded that early muscle stimulation decrease morbidity and calf atrophy. Our protocol with weight bearing in ankle neutral position reduces calf atrophy. A rigid and stable reconstruction allowing early weight bearing without equinus position seems to be a rational treatment for Achilles tendon RUPTURE in athletes.
