Abstract:
Neglected Achilles tendon ruptures are becoming more common. The etiologies are numerous, often complicating acute ruptures of the undiagnosed calcaneal tendon, whether by ignorance of the pathognomonic signs (loss of the physiological equine in prone position and Thomson’s maneuver) or by erroneous diagnosis of partial rupture often induced by an ultrasound. Also, it can be due to an iterative ruptures or ruptures on a pathological tendon. The treatment is always performed by a surgery. However, techniques are numerous and depend on the indications. We describe in this work the surgical technique of repairing neglected Achilles tendon ruptures according to Bosworth, performed in the Department of Traumatology-Orthopedics and Reconstructive Surgery of the Ibn Rochd University Hospital Center in Casablanca, Morocco.
