The authors analyse the results obtained on 53 cases of rupture of the Achillis tendon. Early minor complications were numerous (26 p. 100) the average follow-up, in 38 cases, was about 6 years. A number of ankle limitations, triceps weakness were noted. All patient had a calf atrophy. Final results were not related to the surgical technique (suture or grafting using plantaris). The authors conclude that the results obtained after surgical treatment are not as good as generally thought.
作者分析了53例跟腱断裂病例的结果。早期轻微并发症众多（占26%），38例患者的平均随访时间约为6年。发现了一些踝关节活动受限和三头肌无力的情况。所有患者均有小腿萎缩。最终结果与手术技术（缝合或使用跖肌腱移植）无关。作者得出结论，手术治疗后的结果并不像普遍认为的那么好。
