Abstract
The incidence of acute Achilles tendon rupture is increasing as sporting activities are becoming more popular nowadays. There are many reports on the merits and disadvantages of surgical or conservative treatment for the injury. We performed a conservative treatment of acute Achilles tendon rupture with a serial casting and observed the progression of tendon healing ultrasonographically.
아킬레스 건의 급성 파열은 최근 레저 활동의 증가로 인하여 그 빈도가 점점 증가하고 있으며 수술적 및 보존적 치료 방법 모두 장단점이 보고되고 있다. 저자들은 급성 아킬레스 건 파열에 대해 석고 고정을 이용한 보존적 치료를 시행하고 그 치유 과정을 초음파를 이용해 추시하였다.
