“…In degenerative cases, repetitive stress in areas of tendon degeneration may form macroscopic clefts producing partial Achilles tears and eventually complete rupture [34] [35]. In the mechanical cases, uncoordinated or excessive muscle contraction due to failure of normal neuromuscular inhibitory mechanisms in fatigued or inadequately trained athletes can lead to a sudden Achilles rupture.…”

“…In the mechanical cases, uncoordinated or excessive muscle contraction due to failure of normal neuromuscular inhibitory mechanisms in fatigued or inadequately trained athletes can lead to a sudden Achilles rupture. This may in part explain why ruptures often occur 30 minutes or more into exercise, and may particularly occur in athletes returning to sport too quickly after an inactive period [35]. The type of force type placed on the Achilles is also important with oblique load stress occurring in sports that require a rapid pushoff being a common cause of Achilles tears [34].…”

(2013 AbstractPlantar fascia and distal Achilles injuries are common in elite athletes. Acute athletic injuries of the plantar fascia include acute plantar fasciopathy and partial or complete tears. Underlying most acute injuries is a background of underlying chronic plantar fasciopathy. Injuries may affect the central or less commonly lateral portions of the fascia and acute tears are generally proximal. Athletic Achilles injuries may occur at the mid tendon or the distal insertion, and there may be an underlying chronic tendinopathy. Acute or chronic paratendinopathy may occur as a separate entity or combined with Achilles injury. In this article the spectrum of athletic injuries of the plantar fascia and Achilles is described, illustrated by imaging findings from the London 2012 Olympic games.

“…En caso de dudas diagnósticas, se puede recurrir a la ecografía o la resonancia magnética. 5,[7][8][9] El fin de la técnica mínimamente invasiva es obtener una incidencia de otra rotura similar a la de la cirugía abierta, pero con una menor tasa de complicaciones locales, como infección del sitio operatorio, formación de adherencias, dehiscencias y grandes cicatrices.…”

ResumenIntroducción: Las roturas del tendón de Aquiles son lesiones traumáticas frecuentes. El tratamiento generalmente es quirúrgico. La cirugía puede ser abierta o percutánea. El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar los resultados clínico-funcionales en pacientes con roturas agudas del tendón de Aquiles tratados por técnica mínimamente invasiva de Dresden. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio prospectivo comparativo de 15 casos con roturas agudas del tendón de Aquiles. Se analizaron características del intraoperatorio, la hospitalización, los resultados funcionales y la evaluación de acuerdo con el puntaje de la AOFAS. El seguimiento promedio fue de 18 meses. Resultados: Se mencionan los resultados sobre la base del tiempo quirúrgico, la estadía hospitalaria, el tiempo hasta la cirugía, la carga del peso y el protocolo posoperatorio. El puntaje de la AOFAS a los 5 meses fue 94,66. El retorno a la actividad laboral fue, en promedio, a los 3.53 meses y el retorno a la actividad deportiva, a los 6.53 meses. Conclusiones: La técnica percutánea para la reparación de roturas agudas del tendón de Aquiles es una buena opción, los pacientes tienen una buena evolución y el índice de complicaciones es bajo.Palabras clave: Roturas; tendón de Aquiles; técnica percutánea; Dresden. Nivel de Evidencia: IV Acute Achilles tendon ruptures treated with minimally invasive Dresden technique AbstractIntroduction: The Achilles tendon ruptures are common traumatic injuries. Treatment is usually surgical. Surgery may be open or percutaneous. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes in patients with acute Achilles ruptures treated by minimally invasive Dresden technique. Methods: Prospective study of 15 patients with acute Achilles tendon ruptures. Intraoperative characteristics, hospitalization, functional outcomes and evaluation according to AOFAS score were evaluated. The average follow-up was 18 months. Results: Results are listed based on the surgical time, hospital stay, time to surgery, weight load and postoperative protocol. The AOFAS score at five months was 94.66 points. Patients returned to work at 3.53 months on average and to their sport activities at 6.53 months Conclusions: The percutaneous technique for the repair of acute Achilles tendon rupture is a good choice. Patients have a good outcome and the rate of complications is low.
