Popis: | Chronic Achilles tendon injury is a challenging problem. A review of the different options available and their technical considerations is required. Reconstruction of the Achilles tendon depends on numerous factors such as the gap between the debrided tendon ends, the presence of a distal stump, and the and presence of scar tissue.
