Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To explore clinical effects of suture anchor with V-Y tenoplasty for the treatment of old Achilles tendon rupture.
METHODS:From May 2014 to March 2018, 26 patients with old Achilles tendon rupture treated by suture anchor with V-Y tenoplasty, including 18 males and 8 females aged from 19 to 56 years old with an average of (36.0±11.7) years old, the courses of disease ranged from 42 to 62 days with an average of (49.0±5.3) days; the distances of Achilles tendon-shortening ranged from 2 to 7 cm with an average of (4.0±1.6) cm. Postoperative complications were observed, preoperative and postoperative American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Soviety(AOFAS) score were used to evaluate clinical effects.
RESULTS:All patients were followed up from 8 to 18 months with an average of(12.0±2.5) months. No Achilles tendon rupture occurred again. Postoperative AOFAS score at 3 months(93.37 ±3.48) was higher than before operation(57.26±5.06)(t=9.564, <0.05), and 14 patients got excellent results, 11 moderate and 1 poor.
CONCLUSIONS:Suture anchor with V-Y tenoplasty for old Achilles tendon rupture could achieve stable fixation, relieve pain, improve walking ability and quality of life, and also recover good function of ankle joint.
