ABSTRACT
With the growing demand for physical activity, an increasing number of individuals with chronic Achilles tendon ruptures are opting for surgical intervention. Surgical approaches encompass end-to end anastomosis, tendon flap techniques, tendon transfer procedures, and free tendon grafting, among others. When selecting the appropriate surgical method and determining the surgical indications, it is imperative to consider factors like the length of the Achilles tendon defect, patient age, aesthetic preferences, functional requirements, and local tissue conditions. As medical devices evolve and surgical techniques advance, the criteria for surgical intervention are also evolving. Drawing from existing literature evidence, it becomes crucial to define reasonable parameters for addressing Achilles tendon defects with each surgical technique, aligning more closely with clinical needs. Additionally, auxiliary technologies such as biologic therapy and innovative biomaterials have demonstrated promising results in laboratory or animal models. The focal point of advancing these auxiliary technologies lies in facilitating the translation of pertinent clinical outcomes in the future.
