The technique of percutaneous suturing repair of acute closed rupture of the Achilles tendon, as described in this article, can be performed under local anesthesia without using an arterioconstrictive tourniquet. Eighteen patients have been successfully treated with this technique, 12 having been closely followed for more than 12 months, and 8 for more than 24 months. Preliminarly, this technique for repairing acute closed Achilles tendon ruptures appears more promising than open surgical repair or short leg equinus casts alone due to tendon continuity restoration, tendon strength restoration,and minimization of postoperative complications.
本文所述的经皮缝合修复急性闭合性跟腱断裂技术可在局部麻醉下进行，无需使用血管收缩止血带。18例患者已成功采用该技术治疗，其中12例得到密切随访超过12个月，8例超过24个月。初步来看，该修复急性闭合性跟腱断裂的技术，因能恢复肌腱连续性、恢复肌腱强度并将术后并发症降至最低，似乎比单纯的开放手术修复或短腿马蹄形石膏固定更具前景。
