Repair of Combined Insertional and Midsubstance Achilles Tendon Ruptures.

Repair of Combined Insertional and Midsubstance Achilles Tendon Ruptures. Orthopedics. 2019 Jul 26;:1-8 Authors: Hsu AR Abstract Complex combined tears of the insertion and midsubstance of the Achilles tendon are rare injuries that are challenging to diagnose and treat. The author describes a novel technique for combined insertional and midsubstance Achilles repair that decreases proximal soft tissue dissection, restores musculotendinous length, and directly fixes tendon to bone in a strong, knotless fashion to allow for early mobilization and functional recovery.
