How Open Repair (with possible reinforcement/patch) is performed
This procedure is suitable for those who require direct repair or have poor tissue quality, and suture anchors, tendon transfers, or patch augmentation can be selected depending on the situation. Typically, the ruptured ends are exposed under anesthesia, scar tissue and necrotic tissue are cleaned, and end-to-end suturing is performed; if the gap is large or it is a chronic rupture, tendon transfer or patch placement can be performed and fixed with anchors. Postoperatively, a cast or walking boot is used for protection, wound and thrombosis risks are monitored, and strength and gait are gradually restored. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
