Abstract:
Various minimally invasive repair techniques have been performed for acute Achilles tendon rupture. Despite this, it is difficult to use these techniques in common practice because of the necessity of special instruments. We propose a novel minimal invasive technique using sponge holding forceps, which are commonly used in the operating room for the acute Achilles tendon rupture.
