How Percutaneous Minimally Invasive Suture Repair is performed
This procedure is often performed when an Achilles tendon rupture is confirmed to be suitable for percutaneous repair, with the option of using suture anchors or needle guides. Typically, under anesthesia, several small incisions are made in the skin, and sutures are passed through the ruptured ends and aligned with the aid of imaging or palpation. If necessary, necrotic tissue is cleaned and nodules are reinforced. Postoperatively, a splint or walking boot is used for immobilization, with early monitoring of the incision, blood supply, and risk of thrombosis. The goal is to gradually restore ankle joint movement and function. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
