Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This retrospective study identified 12 patients with Achilles sleeve avulsion from November 2013 to March 2016, aiming to explore a new transosseous suture technique for the repair of Achilles sleeve avulsion and observe the short-term curative effect.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Purpose: To explore a new transosseous suture technique for the repair of Achilles sleeve avulsion and observe the short-term curative effect.

Methods:In total, 11 patients diagnosed with Achilles sleeve avulsion underwent this new surgical technique and were followed for a mean time of 40 months. Clinical outcomes were measured using the visual analog scale (VAS), American Orthopaedic Foot \& Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, Victorian Institute of Sports Assessment-Achilles (VISA-A) score, Tegner score, and time taken to return to activities. Preoperative and postoperative MRI, the ability to perform heel rise, and complications were also evaluated.
