ABSTRACT Background Despite many techniques used for repair of the ruptured Achilles tendon, uncertainty of healing of the surgical wound remains a problem. This mainly determines the success of the surgery. The long-term results generally result in healing of the rupture, but poor healing of the wound occurs repeatedly. This causes apprehension in advising surgery over a conservative approach. Objectives To study the outcome of 20 cases of acute rupture of the Achilles tendon treated by the percutaneous technique. Materials and methods From March 2004 to March 2012, 20 cases of acute Achilles tendon rupture were treated by percutaneous repair by the method of Ma and Griffith. Modifications were used in distal end and delayed repairs. Immobilization was used after surgery. Postoperative complications were observed, and results assessed using the Leppilahti score after 6 months. Follow-up was done for 2 years. Results Percutaneous repair had significantly good results in 95% cases. There were two cases of sural nerve hypoesthesia, which was a minor problem and in no way hampered the longterm result. There were no re-ruptures. Patient satisfaction was high in terms of final result and cosmesis. Conclusion Percutaneous repair is a safe and reliable method for repair of the Achilles tendon rupture. It has a minor complication rate, and is advisable over open surgery. How to cite this article Salunkhe GD.

The purpose of our study was to evaluate the functional outcomes of two methods of surgical treatment of acute closed raptures of the Achilles tendon, specifically, the primary open repair and the percutaneous repair techniques, utilizing (a) isokinetic plantar flexion strength, (b) midcalf girth, (c) ankle joint proprioception, and (d) ankle range of motion values. As a secondary purpose, the frequency of reruptures and postsurgical complications were compared between techniques. Twenty male patients (mean age, 43.8 ± 9.4 years) who sustained complete, closed ruptures of the Achilles tendon participated in this study. Results of pairedttests revealed significant differences between postsurgical and contralateral normal limbs for 6 of 12 variables. Results of the ANOVAs revealed no significant differences between the open repair group and percutaneous repair group for any of the evaluative parameters. The significant deficits in postoperative isokinetic plantar flexion strength and midcalf girth measurements, irrespective of surgical technique, suggest an incompleteness of rehabilitation or, more likely, the physiological inability to regain these characteristics postoperatively.
