Abstract
Ethiopian pepper mottle virus is one of the major constraints of pepper production in the central rift valley region of Ethiopia. The present study was conducted to determine optimum netting duration for efficient protection of pepper from vector infestation and subsequent viral infection. For this purpose, an experiment was carried out in the central rift valley of Ethiopia (i.e. Meki and Hawassa districts).
Highlights
The current literature shows that operative treatment has advantages in comparison to conservative treatment for acute Achilles tendon ruptures and there is a large amount of biomechanical cadaver studies which examined the strength of several suture techniques to determine the best suture technique for operative treatment of Achilles tendon rupture
Due to the failure mode it was not possible to compare the two different suture materials regarding their strength properties. Regarding this result it might be that the in vivo pullout strength of the common Achilles tendon suture techniques is not as high as it is detected in most biomechanical cadaver studies
There is no consensus on the treatment of acute Achilles tendon ruptures
Summary
The current literature shows that operative treatment has advantages in comparison to conservative treatment for acute Achilles tendon ruptures and there is a large amount of biomechanical cadaver studies which examined the strength of several suture techniques to determine the best suture technique for operative treatment of Achilles tendon rupture. There is no consensus on the treatment of acute Achilles tendon ruptures. While some surgeons prefer conservative treatment to avoid complications from surgery, most physicians consider operative treatment to be more reliable in young and mid-aged patients. The latter has been shown to reduce the risk of rerupture by the factor 3. Surgical treatment may allow earlier return to work and shows a better range of motion in the ankle [2,5,6]
