Endoscopic-assisted repair of acute Achilles tendon rupture with Krackow suture: An anatomic study
Foot and Ankle Surgery, 10/20/09
Chan KB et al. – Krackow locking stitches can be formed by the minimally invasive technique. However, there are risks of stitches falling into the ruptured gap and lie deep to the tendon and risk of sural nerve entrapment at the proximal medial portal. The original technique is not suitable for clinical application. Modification of the technique by grasping the tendon end with Allis tissue forceps before passing the suture may prevent the suture from falling into the ruptured tendon gap.
