Functional outcome of Tendo Achilles augmentation using peroneus brevis grafting in Tendo Achilles rupture

Abstract

Background: It is difficult for orthopedic surgeons to repair a chronic total tendoachilles tendon. Tendoachilles augmentation with a Peroneus Brevis graft is one method for treating these tears. The study's goal is to evaluate how well the peroneus brevis graft for tendoachilles augmentation performed functionally. Furthermore, to compare the findings to research done by other authors that is already published Methods: This is a prospective study of 30 patients with chronic tendoachilles tendon rupture conducted between May 2021 to May 2022 with a follow up of 2 years Results: In our study, there were 14 female and 16 male participants, with the right side being the most often affected area. The patient's age ranged from 32 to 56 years, with a mean of 42.35 years. At the end of 18 months, all patients with tendoachilles augmentations could walk without experiencing any discomfort and were back to where they were before the injury. Following surgery, the average dorsiflexion and plantar flexion were (DF-17, PF-25). The modified Rupp score significantly increased from a mean of 2 prior to surgery to 23 following it. All patients were satisfied with the surgery and functional results. Conclusions: Tendoachilles augumentation with peroneus brevis grafting is a good choice for treating Tendoachilles rupture. When compared to other grafts, the peroneus brevis graft provides good functional results when utilized to repair chronic tendoachilles tears.
