Recent experimental studies on the Achilles tendon show that a rupture of the tendon can be caused by trauma. This statement is supported by the results of special examinations on intraoperatively excised tendon tissue. In the treatment of the rupture, the choice of surgical technique depends on the age of the rupture at the time of surgery. Ruptures less than 5 days old are sutured end to end with absorbable sutures whereas older ruptures frequently require a tendinoplasty. Finally we are developing an etiopathological interpretation of Achilles injury. From this it may be concluded that this was perhaps the first traumatic rupture of Achilles tendon to be described in the literature.
最近对跟腱的实验研究表明，肌腱断裂可能由外伤引起。术中切除的肌腱组织的特殊检查结果支持了这一说法。在治疗跟腱断裂时，手术技术的选择取决于手术时断裂的时长。小于5天的断裂用可吸收缝线端端缝合，而时间较长的断裂通常需要进行肌腱成形术。最后，我们正在对跟腱损伤进行病因病理学解释。由此可以得出结论，这可能是文献中描述的首例外伤性跟腱断裂。
