Schematic diagram of the operation. (A) small skin incisions (dotted circles) were placed proximal to the Achilles tendon rupture site and at the calcaneus to avoid skin incisions at the rupture site and to minimize wound complications. (B) Firm bridging between the intact proximal Achilles tendon and the calcaneus over the site of the Achilles tendon rupture, promoting natural repair of the ruptured Achilles tendon
