Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Fastin bone anchor material is better than traditional absorbable suture weaving method in operation, reliable fixation and biomechanical strength in the repair of Achilles tendon rupture.
OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical effects of the Fastin bone anchor material in the repair of Achilles tendon rupture.
METHODS: Totally 30 patients with acute Achilles tendon rupture voluntarily underwent surgery to repair the tendon using Fastin bone anchor material or absorbable suture. Functional recovery of patients was followed up for 1 year.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The patients treated with Fastin bone anchor material in the repair of Achilles tendon rupture had better clinical curative effects than those treated with absorbable suture (P <0.05). It is indicated that Fastin bone anchor material is better for the repair of Achilles tendon rupture toprotect the ankle function.
