The purpose of this study is to characterize the rate of wound and other early complications following a specific minimally invasive Achilles tendon repair technique, and to identify any factors associated with increased risk.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The postoperative courses of 99 patients who underwent minimally invasive Achilles tendon repair by 2 surgeons at separate academic medical centers were retrospectively reviewed. Mean follow-up was 8.1 months (range 3.0-24.6 months). Repair technique was similar in all cases with the exception that 71 procedures used a longitudinal incision and a tourniquet, while 28 procedures used a transverse incision and no tourniquet (surgeon preference). The rates of complications were compared between patients with differing baseline and procedural characteristics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of the 99 patients included in the study, 2 (2.0%) developed wound complications. There was no statistical difference in the rate of wound complications between patients in the longitudinal incision\/tourniquet group and patients in the transverse incision\/no tourniquet group (2.8% vs 0%; P = 1.000). Four patients (4.0%) developed sural neuropraxia. One patient developed deep venous thrombosis. There were no cases of rerupture. At final follow-up, all 99 patients had intact Thompson tests and well-healed wounds.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The rate of wound complications following minimally invasive Achilles tendon repair is low at 2.0%. Patients should be counseled that although risk for wound complications may be lower with this minimally invasive technique, there are risks for sural neuropraxia and deep suture reaction.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Levels of Evidence:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Level III, Retrospective study<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/1938640020950895","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,25]],"date-time":"2020-08-25T06:56:18Z","timestamp":1598338578000},"page":"236-243","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Adverse Events Following Minimally Invasive Achilles Tendon Repair"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Alexander J.","family":"Idarraga","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7599-4244","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel D.","family":"Bohl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eric","family":"Barnard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Rehabilitation, Loyola University Medical Center, Maywood, Illinois"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9004-6197","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kamran","family":"Movassaghi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of California San Francisco\u2013Fresno, Fresno, California"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kamran S.","family":"Hamid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adam P.","family":"Schiff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Loyola University Health System, Maywood, Illinois"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1938640020950895","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/107110070502601106"},{"key":"bibr2-1938640020950895","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167-015-3544-5"},{"key":"bibr3-1938640020950895","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijsu.2017.03.021"},{"key":"bibr4-1938640020950895","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.injury.2018.08.012"},{"key":"bibr5-1938640020950895","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eats.2017.08.065"},{"key":"bibr6-1938640020950895","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1071100718755474"},{"key":"bibr7-1938640020950895","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.injury.2018.08.011"},{"key":"bibr8-1938640020950895","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1071100718757971"},{"key":"bibr9-1938640020950895","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/JBJS.17.01364"},{"key":"bibr10-1938640020950895","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/JBJS.I.01401"},{"key":"bibr11-1938640020950895","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1071100715589632"},{"key":"bibr12-1938640020950895","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546504271501"},{"key":"bibr13-1938640020950895","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/jbjs.j.01829."},{"key":"bibr14-1938640020950895","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.11138\/mltj\/2014.4.2.177."},{"key":"bibr15-1938640020950895","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167-018-4984-5"},{"key":"bibr16-1938640020950895","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2014.07.026"},{"key":"bibr17-1938640020950895","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fas.2014.01.006"}],"container-title":["Foot &amp;
