Treatment of total loss of the Achilles tendon by skin flap cover without tendon repair.

D E Saunders, J Hochberg, W Wittenborn.   

Abstract

We present two cases of conservative treatment of total loss of the Achilles tendon. In our opinion the functional result is acceptable, without tendon grafting. The action of the sural muscles is transmitted through scar underlying the pedicled flaps used to resurface the wounds.
