Abstract
Objective: Treatment of Achilles insertional calcific tendinosis through a longitudinal midline incision approach with optional resection of the retrocalcaneal bursa and calcaneal tuberosity (Haglund's deformity).
Contraindications: General medical contraindications to surgical interventions. Fracture, infection.
Surgical technique: Longitudinal skin incision medial of the Achilles tendon. Exposure and midline incision of the Achilles tendon with plantar detachment from the insertion site preserving medial and lateral attachment. Resection of a dorsal heel spur and intratendinous calcifications. Optional resection of the retrocalcaneal bursa and calcaneal tuberosity (Haglund's deformity).
Postoperative management: Partial weight bearing 20 kg in 30° plantar flexion in a long walker boot for 2 weeks. Afterwards 2 weeks of progressively weight bearing in 15° plantar flexion and another 2 weeks in neutral ankle joint position in a long walker boot.
Results: A total of 26 feet of 26 patients with calcific Achilles tendinosis were treated with midline incision of the tendon. In all feet calcific tendon parts were resected. In 10 (38%) feet, a prominent dorsal spur was resected, in 12 feet (38%) retrocalcaneal bursa, and in 24 (92%) feet a calcaneal tuberosity. Mean follow-up was 34.5 months (range 2-64 months). Preoperative Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOXFQ) score was 58.2 (±8.1) and postoperatively the score was 22.75 (±6.0). In all, 7 (26.9%) patients stated delayed wound healing; 1 suffered from deep vein thrombosis. Shoe problems were reported by 50% of patients, and 23.1% suffered from par- or dysesthesia. No revision surgery was required.
期刊介绍：
Orthopedics and Traumatology is directed toward all orthopedic surgeons, trauma-tologists, hand surgeons, specialists in sports injuries, orthopedics and rheumatology as well as gene-al surgeons who require access to reliable information on current operative methods to ensure the quality of patient advice, preoperative planning, and postoperative care.
The journal presents established and new operative procedures in uniformly structured and extensively illustrated contributions. All aspects are presented step-by-step from indications, contraindications, patient education, and preparation of the operation right through to postoperative care. The advantages and disadvantages, possible complications, deficiencies and risks of the methods as well as significant results with their evaluation criteria are discussed. To allow the reader to assess the outcome, results are detailed and based on internationally recognized scoring systems.
Orthopedics and Traumatology facilitates effective advancement and further education for all those active in both special and conservative fields of orthopedics, traumatology, and general surgery, offers sup-port for therapeutic decision-making, and provides – more than 30 years after its first publication – constantly expanding and up-to-date teaching on operative techniques.
