Abstrakt: Background: Surgical treatment of insertional Achilles tendinopathy (IAT) historically consists of Achilles tendon debridement with reattachment and excision of the posterosuperior calcaneal prominence with or without a gastrocnemius recession. Zadek osteotomy (ZO) is an alternative to an open midline splitting approach. The purpose of this study was to analyze patient-reported outcomes and complications after percutaneously performed ZO with minimum 2 years' follow-up.
Methods: One hundred eight cases treated with percutaneous ZO with a minimum 2-year follow-up were retrospectively reviewed. Postoperative complications and patient satisfaction were evaluated. Foot Function Index (FFI) and visual analog scale (VAS) scores were recorded at preoperative and follow-up appointments to measure patients' functional outcomes and pain, respectively.
Results: Mean follow-up was 41.2 months (range, 24-65). Mean age was 51.8 years (range, 28-81). The mean FFI score improved from 56.1 (range, 47-88) to 11.0 (range, 7-59) postoperatively ( P < .001). The mean VAS score improved from 7.7 (range, 5-10) to 0.4 (range, 0-7) postoperatively ( P < .001). The overall complication rate was 3.8% (n = 4). Of 104 cases, 98.1% of patients said they were satisfied with their procedure (n = 102) when asked if they were satisfied with their ZO and recovery.
Conclusion: We found the percutaneous ZO to be a safe and effective intervention for treatment of IAT. At a minimum of 2-year follow-up, this intervention is associated with minimal complications, improved function, reduced pain, and a high rate of patient satisfaction.
