Summary
Chronic Achilles tendon ruptures arise as a result of acute ruptures unrecognized during primary examination or due to non-compliance of the patient. In the treatment, surgical revision is often used, with the possibility of static or dynamic plasties, together with augmentation techniques. This paper presents two cases where static plasty was used to bridge a tendon defect of up to 10 cm, resulting in full restoration of tendon function.
Keywords:
Achilles tendon − chronic rupture − tendon plasty − surgical treatment
