Abstract
Twenty-five patients with Achilles tendon rupture were treated in our hospital from April 1997 to November 1999. A modified Savage core suture and modified cross-stitch peripheral suture were applied to all of them. They were evaluated clinically and the diameter of the Achilles tendon was measured by ultrasonograph. Partial weight bearing without a splint began at 8.5 days after the operation. Major complications such as suture failure or reccurent tendon rupture were not encountered. Muscle strength was maintained in all cases. The thickness of the Achilles tendon was not significant compared to previous reports including non-surgical treatment. Our treatment method allowed weight bearing without a splint early enough to maintain muscle strength.
