Abstract:
Tcherneiski approach in suturing Achilles tendon was applied in 13 patients (11 males, 2 females, ages 20 to 50 years), at Hospital No.87 from February 2002 to April 2004. Results showed that, the cause of breaking tendon: wound 38%, local injury 54% and implicit break 80%. The efficacy of this technique: good 62%, relative good 31%, medium 7% and bad 0%. Advantage of the method is that, in the cases of admission late or broken due to local trauma, the technique of suturing the tendon in 2 phases do often achieved a very good result.
