Análisis del manejo quirúrgico abierto versus abordaje percutáneo en la rotura de tendón de Aquiles

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The incidence of Achilles tendon rupture has had a significant increase in recent times in several countries, for example, in the United States there are 7 to 40 people per 100,000 who present this injury. OBJECTIVE: To perform an analysis of open surgical management versus percutaneous approach in Achilles tendon rupture. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A descriptive and exploratory documentary design research was carried out. Through the search of complete scientific articles, in databases such as SciElo, Pubmed, Google Scholar and LATINDEX, using the descriptors: Rupture, Achilles tendon, treatment within the period 2017- 2022.RESULTS. Percutaneous techniques such as the Maffulli technique have shown significant benefits in terms of post-surgical pain with low levels, with significant improvement in walking to normal and very few require external aids such as canes, this with the benefit of less time Referred disability of less than 60 days compared to an open technique. CONCLUSION: From the point of view of post-surgical complications, shorter recovery time and adequate multidisciplinary rehabilitation support, the percutaneous technique is supported as an effective method for the treatment of Achilles tendon rupture.
