【 摘 要 】

Category:SportsIntroduction/Purpose:Rupture of the Achilles Tendon (AT) is frequent in young recreational athletes. Conservative management, open surgery and percutaneous/minimally invasive approaches are all advocated, and conflicting data are available. This study compared functional and anthropometric outcomes of patients who underwent open or percutaneous repair.Methods:A retrospective comparative study, in which 38 patients underwent open and percutaneous techniques to manage AT ruptures. For functional assessment, the calf circumference of both injured and uninjured legs was evaluated. Isokinetic testing included total plantar flexion work, peak plantar flexion torque, total dorsiflexion work peak and dorsiflexion torque. The Achilles Tendon Rupture Score (ATRS) and the America Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS) were evaluated at a final minimum follow-up of 12 months.Results:No major complications were observed. The average time to return to sport was 9 months. AOFAS and ATRS values did not di...
