Dr. Amit Momaya demonstrates how to perform an achilles tendon repair

by Amit Momaya, MD | 3 years ago

A posterior incision is made on the heel and the two tendon ends are identified and debrided. Non abrasive suture is used to tie and control each of the stumps, which are then tied together. Notice the restoration of plantar flexion with squeezing of the calf after successful repair.
