He presented with a palpable defect in the tendon and an MRI confirmed a complete rupture. Rich underwent the Stone Clinic Percutaneous Achilles Tendon repair where we do not open the tendon. The repair is performed by weaving resorbable sutures through the tendon using small nicks in the skin. Rich returned to elite level training immediately after surgery by protecting his ankle while he performed a wide range of training exercises under the guidance of The Stone Clinic Rehabilitation team. He returned to full CrossFit exercises at just six months after surgery. The Achilles tendon is a strong, broad tissue covered in a sheath. When it ruptures the sheath is usually intact with a healing blood clot that forms around the torn ends. Open surgery leads to a loss of that clot, scarring, and a slow recovery. When there's a rupture of the Achilles tendon, our percutaneous suture repair technique has shown to be effective over the last 25 years at repairing the ruptured Achilles tendon without open surgery and returning the patient back to sports. Our long-term data with MRI follow-up on torn Achilles tendons demonstrates that the tendons heal with a normal appearance on an MRI although slightly thicker than the normal Achilles tendon. The procedure is performed as an outpatient under local anesthesia.
