During the period 1965-1976 44 patients at our institution underwent open repair of ruptured or lacerated Achilles tendons. Patients were evaluated as to delay to surgery, type of repair, wound complications, incidence of rerupture, symptoms, and postoperative range of motion, mobility, and strength. Average followup was 3 years. Functional results were generally good. Rerupture (2.8%) and wound complications (6.8%) were infrequent. We conclude that the benefits of surgical repair appear to outweigh the potential complications, when compared with the reported incidence of rerupture and loss of strength and endurance following conservative management of these injuries.
在1965年至1976年期间，我院有44例患者接受了开放性跟腱断裂或撕裂修复术。对患者进行了手术延迟时间、修复类型、伤口并发症、再断裂发生率、症状以及术后活动范围、活动能力和力量等方面的评估。平均随访时间为3年。功能结果总体良好。再断裂（2.8%）和伤口并发症（6.8%）并不常见。我们得出结论，与这些损伤保守治疗后报道的再断裂发生率以及力量和耐力丧失情况相比，手术修复的益处似乎超过了潜在并发症。
