“…Our study adds to this positive body of evidence demonstrating no re-ruptures or cases requiring revision. The age range, high levels of patient satisfaction and statistical improvements in functional scores in our study were consistent with those reported elsewhere in the literature [1].…”

“…Wang, et al [1] reported a rerupture rate of 5.4% for all techniques in a 4-year period including 1443 patients but did not distinguish the fixation method nor approach. Olsen, et al compared suture anchors and operated arm in comparison to the non-operated arm whereas 3 patients demonstrated increased supination power in the operated arm in comparison to the non-operated arm.…”

“…Approximately 9% of the United States (US) population younger than 65 years of age and approximately 13% of the US population with private medical insurance are represented in the database [19]. Additionally, the PearlDiver Patient Record Database includes all patients who enrolled with the insurance carrier during the desired time period before or after a specified event [17].…”

Introduction. Disorders of the Achilles tendon can be broadly classified into acute and chronic entities. Few studies have established chronic Achilles tendinopathy as a precursor to acute Achilles ruptures. In this study, we assessed the relationship between Achilles tendinopathy and rupture, clarifying the incidence of rupture in the setting of underlying tendinopathy. Methods. The United Healthcare Orthopedic Dataset from the PearlDiver Patient Record Database was used to identify patients with ICD-9 codes for Achilles rupture and/or Achilles tendinopathy. The number of patients with acute rupture, chronic tendinopathy, and rupture following a prior diagnosis of tendinopathy was assessed. Results. Four percent of patients with an underlying diagnosis of Achilles tendinopathy went on to sustain a rupture (7,232 patients). Older patients with tendinopathy were most vulnerable to subsequent rupture. Conclusions. The current study demonstrates that 4.0% of patients who were previously diagnosed with Achilles tendinopathy sustained an Achilles tendon rupture. Additionally, older patients with Achilles tendinopathy were most vulnerable. These findings are important as they can help clinicians more objectively council patients with Achilles tendinopathy.

“…6e9 The 2 most commonly used approaches are the 2-incision technique and the single anterior incision technique. 10 Bone tunnels, suture anchors, and cortical buttons are common fixation methods, and the biomechanics of these constructs have been studied in the literature. 11e13…”
