Brief Summary

This study proposes endoscopic surgery for delayed wound healing after Achilles tendon suture which is a brand new treatment，and retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 4 cases treated with this treatment. The analysis results of the clinical efficacy of the method can serve as a reference for clinical and surgical decision-making and prognosis assessment.

Conditions

Wound Healing

Keywords

Achilles tendon suture; Delayed wound healing; Endoscopy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• Visual Analogue Scale

  Use Visual Analog Scale(VAS) to evaluate the pain recovery of patients who received endoscopic surgery. VAS ranges from 0 to 10, higher scores mean a worse outcome.

  8 months to 4 years after the surgery

• American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society Ankle-Hindfoot Score

  Use American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society Ankle-Hindfoot Score(AOFAS) to evaluate the function recovery of patients who received endoscopic surgery. AOFAS ranges from 0 to 100, higher scores mean a better outcome.

  8 months to 4 years after the surgery

• Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment-Achilles

  Use Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment-Achilles(VISA-A) to evaluate the pain and movement recovery of patients who received endoscopic surgery. VISA-A ranges from 0 to 100, higher scores mean a better outcome.

  8 months to 4 years after the surgery

• Achilles tendon total rupture score

  Use Achilles tendon total rupture score(ATRS) to evaluate the function and movement recovery of patients who received endoscopic surgery. VISA-A ranges from 0 to 100, higher scores mean a better outcome.

  8 months to 4 years after the surgery

• Tegner knee motion score

  Use Tegner knee motion score to evaluate the sports ability of patients who received endoscopic surgery. Tegner knee motion score ranges from 0 to 10, higher scores mean a better outcome.

  8 months to 4 years after the surgery

Eligibility Criteria

• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

4 patients with delayed healing after Achilles tendon suture surgery who were treated at our institution, in the period from April 2008 to July 2019. The patients were 3 men and 1 woman, aged 39 to 60 years. Among them, 3 had surgery on the left Achilles tendon and 1 had surgery on the right Achilles tendon. The time from the first operation (Achilles tendon suture) to foreign body reaction ranged from 1 month to 5 months.

You may qualify if:

• The diagnostic criteria for delayed wound healing after Achilles tendon suture are met, namely the presence of skin necrosis, wound nonunion, or delayed wound healing.

You may not qualify if:

• The expected healing time of wounds with regular dressing changes is \<2 weeks.
