Achillesotomy

Achilles tendon is a surgical operation that involves cutting the Achilles tendon. It is performed for various diseases and injuries that can lead to damage or rupture.

The Achilles tendon is the strongest tendon in the human body and connects the heel to the heel bone of the foot. It is responsible for flexion and extension of the foot, as well as for stabilizing it when walking.

The reasons for performing an achillotomy may vary. For example, it may be due to injury or illness such as arthritis, tendinitis or sprain. An achillotomy may also be performed to treat certain foot conditions, such as plantar fasciitis.

Before surgery, it is necessary to examine the patient to determine the condition of the Achilles tendon and choose the optimal treatment method. Depending on the condition of the tendon, the operation can be performed either open or closed.

After surgery, the patient must follow the doctor's recommendations to speed up the recovery process. This usually involves limiting weight bearing on the foot, using special orthotic devices, and taking medications.

In general, Achilles tendon surgery is an effective treatment for various diseases and injuries of the Achilles tendon, which allows you to quickly restore mobility and stability of the foot. However, before surgery, it is necessary to carefully assess the patient’s condition and choose the optimal treatment method.

Achillotomy is a surgical operation to open the heel bone (foot), in which a longitudinal incision is made in the heel. Such surgical intervention occurs at the place where the attachment of the tendon to the heel converges, or where it divides, going to the calf muscle, in front and behind.

An achillotome is a device or device that is used to drill out the skull bone and directly the heel bone. This is a large bone in our body, it is located at the sole of the feet, it is easily identified - it is to it that the skin is attached when walking and running. Achilles is a tendon, or cord, that secures this bone to the side.

Anatomically, it is known that there are two Achilles tendons. The only difference is that the tendon is the part that is attached to the talus bone. This is where the Achilles rupture comes in. For greater clarity, we can make the following comparison: when a tendon ruptures, it either runs along the bone, or the surface of the talus is damaged by this part of the human ligament. If the incision runs along the surface of the bone, they speak of decompression of the Achilles; if the surface of the bone is damaged, they speak of a rupture. Compression may cause separation
