Neglected rupture of the Achilles tendon. Treatment by V-Y tendinous flap

E Abraham and AM Pankovich

A method is described that achieves end-to-end anastomosis of ruptures of the Achilles tendon. A sliding tendinous flap is developed over the proximal portion of the tendon by making an inverted V incision which is then repaired in a Y fashion. The procedure is recommended for patients with neglected ruptures of the Achilles tendon in which end-to-end anastomosis is otherwise impossible.
