The open tendon suture is the most commonly used method of treatment for Achilles tendon rupture in Germany. Over the last decade the therapeutic spectrum of operative methods has been further enlarged by the development of new minimally invasive surgical techniques. Important criteria for planning treatment are the location and age of the rupture and comorbidities. For recent Achilles tendon ruptures minimally invasive suturing is indicated but for older ruptures a reconstruction often has to be carried ou...
