Summary
Percutaneous tenorrhaphy using the Delponte technique considerably improves the early and late results of Achilles tendon ruptures. By avoiding all plaster immobilisation it permits progressive weight bearing from the 14th day, without an increased risk of complications.
Résumé
La ténorraphie percutanée, appliquée selon la technique de Delponte P, améliore notablement les résultats précoces et secondaires des ruptures du tendon d'Achille (60 cas). En l'absence de toute immobilisation plâtrée, elle autorise un appui progressif à partir du quinzième jour, sans exposer à un taux anormal de complications.
