Reconstruction of the neglected Achilles tendon rupture was performed with marlex mesh on six patients. Marlex mesh was folded into three layers and sandwiched between both ruptured ends that were divided horizontally into two layers in moderate tension. All of the patients showed satisfactory function with a mean follow-up period of 3 years (range, 2.4-3.7 years). The operative procedure is simple because there is no need to harvest healthy tendon or fascia as the donor and there is less adhesion with neighboring tissues and minimal signs of foreign-body reactions.
对6例陈旧性跟腱断裂患者采用Marlex网片进行修复。将Marlex网片折叠成三层，夹在水平分为两层的断裂两端之间，并保持适度张力。所有患者功能恢复良好，平均随访3年（范围2.4 - 3.7年）。该手术操作简单，因为无需切取健康肌腱或筋膜作为供体，与周围组织粘连少，异物反应迹象轻微。
