Case Highlight: Tendoachilles Repair Using Modified Krakow’s Technique
A young, active laborer presented with a complete Tendoachilles tear—an injury that can significantly impact mobility and livelihood, particularly in physically demanding occupations.
Surgical repair was undertaken using the Modified Krakow’s Suturing Technique, a reliable and widely accepted method that offers excellent biomechanical strength and promotes optimal tendon healing. Intraoperatively, precise approximation of the tendon ends was achieved, ensuring secure fixation and alignment.
Notably, the patient demonstrated immediate restoration of ankle plantarflexion post-repair—an encouraging indicator of the repair integrity and early functional recovery.
The attached surgical video provides a brief overview of the repair technique employed.
