Abstract
|
|
|
The main treatment of infections following the repair of a ruptured Achilles tendon is debridement of the infected tissue and reconstruction of the Achilles tendon after controlling the infection. On the other hand, some studies recently reported excellent clinical results after the debridement of the infected Achilles tendon without a reconstruction of the tendon. This paper reports four cases of a competent result after the debridement of an infected Achilles tendon without reconstructing the tendon with a review of the relevant literature.
