BACKGROUND: Non-insertional Achilles tendinopathy is an increasing, perhaps secondary to an increase in sporting activities. Traditional open surgical procedures have been associated with a significant rate of complications. We describe a minimally invasive technique involving the release of the adherent paratenon with a peritendinous infusion of corticosteroids and present the results in a cohort of patients.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-nine tendons (26 patients) with non-insertional Achilles tendinopathy were treated with the above technique. Assessments were made prospectively using an adapted classification of Achilles tendon disability and a visual analogue scale for pain. Patients were interviewed in person or by telephone at an average of 14 (range, 6 to 30) months after surgery.
RESULTS: The average pain score (VAS) improved from 8.7 to 2.4 (p < 0.001) and the average Puddu level of disability improved from 4.9 to 1.7 (p < 0.001). Seventy-five percent of patients had a good or excellent outcome with 20% having sufficient improvement not to pursue further medical attention for their tendinopathy. There was a 7% rate of minor complications due to delayed wound healing which resolved spontaneously and did not affect the rehabilitation or the recovery of the patients.
CONCLUSION: A minimally invasive circumferential paratenon release and peritendinous steroid infusion was a simple method to treat non-insertional Achilles tendinopathy and had low morbidity in our series. This technique has become our preferred primary surgical intervention for this condition.
