[Peritenonectomy in the treatment of achillodynias.].
- Ortopedická klinika LF KU, Hradec Králové
The authors investigated a group of 29 patients, incl. 21 sportsmen with achillodynias. Athletes and football players predominated. Peritenonectomy was indicated when conservative treatment was exhausted and did not achieve marked improvement. The above mentioned operation was, depending on pathological changes of the tendon and its surrounding structures, supplemented by other provisions. After operation the plaster splint was applied only before the surgical wound healed. The follow-up period was 9 months to 5 years. Marked improvement and improvement was recorded in 27 patients, i.e. 94 %. Evaluation was influenced by the presence of other pathological changes in the tendon proper which were concurrently subjected to surgical treatment. Key words: achillodynia, peritenonectomy.
