Twenty-seven patients with acute Achilles ruptures were evaluated objectively and with subjective ques tionnaires. Fifteen of the patients were treated by re construction with a gastrocsoleus fascial graft (fol lowup, 4.6 years) and 12 treated by percutaneous repair (followup, 1.8 years).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Subjectively, both groups were very satisfied with the results of their treatment. Cybex II dynamometer measuring strength, power, and endurance revealed no statistical significant differences between groups, even in light of the shorter followup of the percutaneous group. The percutaneous repairs demonstrated signifi cantly more symmetry in injured\/uninjured tendon size than did the open surgical repairs. Two reruptures occurred in the percutaneous group. No other compli cations were noted. After evaluation of both subjective and objective data we recommend percutaneous repair in the recreational athlete and in patients concerned with cosmesis. Open repair is recommended for all high-caliber athletes who cannot afford any chance of rerupture.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/036354659001800213","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,21]],"date-time":"2007-06-21T20:46:52Z","timestamp":1182458812000},"page":"188-195","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":187,"title":["Percutaneous and open surgical repairs of Achilles tendon ruptures"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"James P.","family":"Bradley","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Kerlan-Jobe Orthopedic Clinic, Centinela Hospital Medical Center, Inglewood, California"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"James E.","family":"Tibone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kerlan-Jobe Orthopedic Clinic, Centinela Hospital Medical Center, Inglewood, California"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1990,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","unstructured":"Arner O., Lindholm A.
