During the period from January 1968 to June 1974, 21 patients were subjected to surgical repair of a ruptured Achilles tendon in the Eindhoven Deaconess Hospital. In 19 of them, the plantaris tendon was used as autogenous suturing material. Followup examination revealed 'excellent' or 'good' results in 19 cases. In one case, the result was classified as 'bad' because of a fistula still present at the time of the follow-up, although functionally the patient was not handicapped. In view of the above, we regard the technique with use of the plantaris tendon for reconstruction of the ruptured Achilles tendon as reliable and worthy of recommendation.
1968年1月至1974年6月期间，21例患者在埃因霍温女执事医院接受了跟腱断裂的手术修复。其中19例使用跖肌腱作为自体缝合材料。随访检查显示19例结果为“优秀”或“良好”。1例患者，随访时仍存在瘘管，结果被分类为“差”，尽管该患者功能上并无残疾。鉴于上述情况，我们认为使用跖肌腱重建断裂跟腱的技术可靠且值得推荐。
