ABSTRACT

The Achilles tendon rupture is an injury than has being increased during the last decades. Now at days current reviews of the literature show differences between conventional open surgery and immobilization and percutaneous surgery, early stand and functional rehabilitation. These techniques trend toward early return to work and sports prior to the injury, requires less sessions of rehabilitation and have no proven of an increased re-rupture rate. This combination showed significantly less use of rehabilitation resources which represent lower costs at the end of the treatment. In our group experience we considered that it is a simple safe surgical procedure which allows higher patient satisfaction and good results for the physicians and less rates of complications.
