[Arthroscopic treatment of acute closed noninsertional rupture of Achilles tendon].

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic treatment of acute closed noninsertional rupture of Achilles tendon. Methods: The clinical and imaging data of 30 patients (30 feet) with acute closed noninsertional rupture of Achilles tendon who were treated with all-inside arthroscopic technique at the Department of Hand and Foot Microsurgery,Xuzhou Central Hospital from June 2018 to June 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 26 males and 4 females,aged (38.3±8.5)years old(range:19 to 66 years). There were 22 cases on the right side and 8 cases on the left side. The duration from injury to surgery was (2.1±1.4) days (range:1 to 7 days).All patients were treated with all-inside arthroscopic technique.The function of the ankle and the foot was assessed using visual analogue scale (VAS),the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle hindfoot scale and the Achilles tendon total rupture score (ATRS). The Arner-Lindholm score system was used to evaluate the excellent and good rate of clinical effect. Paired sample t test or rank-sum test was used for data comparison. Results: The patients were followed up for (18.6±2.2)months(range:12 to 28 months).All the wounds healed at the first stage.No complication such as infection,sural nerve injury or re-rupture happened.Two patinets felt mild pain after a long time exercise, and were alleviated by microwave therapy and stretching the Achilles tendon consistently.Another patient was unable to do a sustained single stance heel raise,which was recovered after repeated function practice.At the last follow-up,the VAS (M(IQR)) decreased from 6(5) preoperatively to 0(1)(Z=6.512,P<0.01),the AOFAS ankle hindfoot scale improved from 60.6±8.3 preoperatively to 96.3±4.8(t=-29.774,P<0.01),and the ATRS improved from 61.7±7.8 preoperatively to 97.1±2.3 (t=-53.661,P<0.01).According to the Arner-Lindholm score system,27 cases were excellent,3 cases were good,and the excellent and good rate was 100%. Conclusions: The all-inside arthroscopic technique not only ensures the quality of tendon ananstomosis,but also avoids injury to the sural nerve.It has the advantages of small trauma,faster recovery and fewer complications.
