Achilles tendon rupture of the causes, diagnosis and treatment

Achilles tendon rupture of the causes, diagnosis and treatment
Ankle tendon many common maintenance of ankle movement function, one of the most important is the Achilles tendon, posterior tibial tendon tendon and fibula. Achilles tendon rupture resulting in the most serious of the dysfunction.
Causes Achilles tendon rupture causes include direct external forces (e.g. with sharp cuts, impact) and indirect external forces (e.g. the snowboarder, Achilles tendon anomalies induced by force). Indirect external cause of Achilles tendon rupture of Achilles tendon itself may be associated with a disease or injury. Athletes Achilles tendon rupture with the foot of excessive dorsiflexors (check feet) exerting force causing abnormal force of Achilles tendon. Most part of Achilles tendon rupture of cases have a history of injury, but no individual cases of acute illness.
Diagnosis of direct trauma caused by the rupture of Achilles tendon often have bleeding wound dehiscence of the skin, sometimes visible in the Achilles tendon tissue. If you do not go easily missed. Indirect force caused by the rupture of Achilles tendon was Achilles tendon in patients with pain, kicked or cane interested, you can hear the sound of "pop", then the action is out of foot and ankle, cannot stand or walk, accompanied by pain, numbness, zhanggan. Check the visible appearance of Achilles tendon, the apparent disappearance of subsidence, tenderness special checks such as pinch test positive for triceps. If the inspection cannot be confirmed, by ultrasound or MRI to help confirmed.
Treatment of gypsum on the part of the case has a good effect. But for the athletes, actors, intensive youth and heavy manual workers is concerned, unless the unconditional surgery or partial surgical skin infection, surgical treatment should be. Surgical repair principle is a little off-end fiber, while the assembled with a tendon graft reinforcement. Tendon graft reinforcement increases the intensity of the Achilles tendon, to reduce the possibility of broken again. Surgery required long legs (from the root to tip the thigh) gypsum, 3 weeks later renamed short legs (knee) gypsum, patients 4 weeks per day in bed like plaster practice active ankle flexion, 6 weeks after your heels walk, and gradually reduce the followed, along with a variety of physical therapy equipment exercise ankle flexion of the activities. In about 3 months after surgery may exercise treadmill, 6 months later to restore the former athletic levels web log lead.
