Peroneus brevis flap in achilles tendon reconstruction. Clinical, radiological and functional analysis
Background: We would like to describe our experience with Peroneus Brevis flap in complicated Achilles
tendon re-ruptures with fringed stumps.
Methods: Eight patients with monolateral re-rupture of Achilles tendon were selected as eligible for
surgical repair with Peroneus Brevis flap. Patients’ outcome was evaluated clinically (ATRS and ROM),
functionally (Gait analysis) and MRI was performed before and after surgery.
Results: Effective coverage of tissue defect was reached in all patients. Functional assessment evaluation
