Abstract
Introduction. Achilles tendon is the strongest tendon in the human body. In 1977 Ma and Griffith described the technique of percutaneous anaplasty of the damaged Achilles tendon as a compromise between surgical and conservative treatment. Choosing an operating method that gives “better” treatment results can facilitate the choice of a more effective treatment. Aim. The aim of the study was to evaluate the biomechanics of surgical treatment of patients with Achilles tendon injury using minimally invasive method. Material and Methods. The study material included 31 patients treated surgically for Achilles tendon injury in the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of CSK MSW in Warsaw in years 2011-2016. The research group consisted of 27 men and 4 women. Their average age was 40 years. The following research tools were used to evaluate the treatment results: 1. Measuring instrument for maximum force moments in ankle joint JBA “Staniek” 2. HUR stabilographic platform Conclusions. 1 Patients presented a similar balance control on the stabilographic platform in research groups. 2. Higher values of maximum force moments in ankle joint were recorded in healthy limb.
