Value of magnetic resonance imaging in monitoring Achilles tendon healing after percutaneous suture using the Dresden technique

ConclusionsMRI represents an excellent means of monitoring the healing process after percutaneous Achilles tendon repair. The results of the present study confirm that the percutaneous, peritendineum preserving technique with the Dresden instrument results in a near physiologic centripetal tendon healing.
