Anatomic Reconstruction of Neglected Achilles Tendon Rupture With Autogenous Peroneal Longus Tendon by EndoButton Fixation

Abstract

Our technique reuses two small central incisions, thus, preserving skin integrity as much as possible to reduce wound breakdown or infection. The management of chronic or neglected Achilles tendon rupture by autogenous peroneal longus tendon with EndoButton-CL fixation at the calcaneal site is an anatomic and safe, but technically demanding technique.
