To date, there is no consensus concerning the treatment of acute Achilles tendon ruptures. Although surgical treatment decreases the risk of a recurrent rupture, it is not without complications. In particular, percutaneous sutures may cause a lesion of the sural nerve. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe a reliable and reproducible surgical procedure for treating these lesions. The first operative phase consists of an ultrasound detection that makes it possible to identify the tendon extremities and the sural nerve, which is necessary to secure the posterolateral arthroscopic tract as well as to perform the percutaneous suture. The entry point is thus centered on the lesion and placed at a distance from any surrounding nerve risk. The second arthroscopic phase makes it possible to release the tendon lesion, control the transtendon passage of the surgical threads, and evaluate the dynamic contact of the tendon edges. At the end of the intervention, the complete disappearance from the transillumination via the rupture also makes it possible to ensure the disappearance of the tendon gap. Achilles tendon percutaneous sutures after the ultrasound detection and under arthroscopic control thus makes it possible to control the contact of the tendon edges, while at the same time decreasing the risk of a lesion of the sural nerve, with minimal scarring.
迄今为止,关于急性跟腱断裂的治疗尚无共识。尽管手术治疗可降低再次断裂的风险,但并非没有并发症。特别是,经皮缝合可能会导致腓肠神经损伤。本技术说明的目的是描述一种可靠且可重复的手术方法来治疗这些损伤。手术的第一阶段包括超声检测,这使得识别肌腱两端和腓肠神经成为可能,这对于确保后外侧关节镜通道以及进行经皮缝合是必要的。因此,入口点以损伤为中心,并与周围任何神经风险保持一定距离。第二个关节镜阶段能够松解肌腱损伤、控制手术缝线的经腱通道,并评估肌腱边缘的动态接触情况。在干预结束时,通过断裂处的透照完全消失也能够确保肌腱间隙消失。因此,在超声检测和关节镜控制下进行跟腱经皮缝合能够控制肌腱边缘的接触,同时降低腓肠神经损伤的风险,且疤痕最小。
