A ruptured Achilles tendon may be repaired surgically, by open or minimally invasive techniques. Degenerative (insertional) tendinosis may need debridement and reattachment of the tendon to the calcaneus.
- Xiros AchilloCordPLUS: a permanent 5 mm woven tubular implant for acute Achilles tendon repair.
- Akilink: a single-use suture-targeting jig for minimally invasive repair of acute closed Achilles ruptures.
- BioFiber Tape: ultra-high-strength tape, for example as a bridge construct in Achilles tendinosis.
- FIBERKNOT: small all-suture anchors; the 1.8 mm anchor is used, for example, in Achilles tendinosis repair.
