Endoscopy-assisted percutaneous suturing of the Achilles tendon is an optimal treatment with cosmetic wound healing and short time recovery which may be the first choice for patients with AT rupture with wound healing problems and for athletic population with better clinical outcomes than other treatment methods.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Achilles tendon (AT) is the strongest and most ruptured tendon due to increasing sports activities.
📊
Key Findings & Data:Operative treatment techniques for AT ruptures are open, percutaneous or endoscopic assisted percutaneous techniques.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:Endoscopy-assisted percutaneous suturing of the Achilles tendon is an optimal treatment with cosmetic wound healing and short time recovery which may be the first choice for patients with AT rupture with wound healing problems and for athletic population with better clinical outcomes than other treatment methods.

Abstract
Achilles tendon (AT) is the strongest and most ruptured tendon due to increasing sports activities. Operative treatment techniques for AT ruptures are open, percutaneous or endoscopic assisted percutaneous techniques. Endoscopy-assisted percutaneous suturing of the Achilles tendon is an optimal treatment with cosmetic wound healing and short time recovery which may be the first choice for patients with AT rupture with wound healing problems and for athletic population with better clinical outcomes than other treatment methods.
