Diagnosis of Achilles tendon rupture

Achilles tendon rupture is diagnosed by Thompson's sign, i.e., when the patient is in prone position, the plantar flexion is not shown or is not obvious. In addition, patients with Achilles tendon rupture can also be diagnosed by MRI or B-ultrasound. The treatment of Achilles tendon rupture is divided into surgical treatment and non-surgical treatment. Among them, surgical treatment is divided into percutaneous puncture treatment, mini-incision treatment and open surgery. Because open surgery and percutaneous puncture will cause more complications, it is suggested that minimally invasive surgery and early postoperative rehabilitation should be combined to achieve better results.
