Features and Benefits
- No need to immobilise the leg in a cast postoperatively, allowing for early rehabilitation
- Partial weight bearing and early mobilisation of the leg in the immediate postoperative phase helps retain muscle bulk and strength
- Fast return to activities of daily living, retaining independence
- The technique is performed through six stab incisions and a small posteromedial incision
- Distal fixation is provided by threading the AchilloCord<sup>PLUS</sup> through a small (3.2 mm diameter) bone tunnel in the os calcis, followed by a single pass in the distal tendon
- Proximal fixation is provided by threading the AchilloCordPLUS in a figure of eight through the proximal tendon stump
- The AchilloCordPLUS is tied with a knot at the site of the rupture. The ends of the tendon are sutured together over the knot, so that the knot remains buried in the tissue
