METHOD FOR HEALING DEGENERATIVE DYSTROPHIC DISEASES OF THE ACHILLES TENDON

摘要

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves exposing the tendon of the long flexor of the hallux at the level of the talonavicular sulcus intersecting it in front of the beginning of its decussation with the tendon of the long flexor of toes. The distal portion of the tendon of the long flexor of the hallux is fixed, after vagina tendinum dissection having been done, by separate sutures to the tendon of the long flexor of toes at their decussation place. The proximal portion of the tendon of the long flexor of hallux is transferred together with the muscle under the superficial layer of the posterior crural muscle group and attached to the Achilles tendon all over its length and to the calcanean tuber. Excessive portion of the proximal part of the tendon is to be exsected. EFFECT: lower probability of postoperative aseptic inflammation.
