Limited‐Incision Kager's Fascia Flap Coverage Versus Open Repair for Acute Achilles Tendon Rupture: A Retrospective Comparative Study [PDF]
Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.This study introduced a limited‐incision Kager's fascia flap coverage technique for the treatment of acute Achilles tendon rupture. At 12‐month follow‐up, this approach demonstrated superior functional outcomes and improved vascularity compared with open repair, suggesting enhanced healing and reduced surgical trauma.
