Tratamiento integral en la ruptura del tendón calcáneo. (Spanish)

Due to incapacity caused by calcaneal tendon injuries for the reintegration of patients back to their daily activities and/or sports it is necessary to decrease the time of reinstatement of patients. At present these times have improved by a good surgical technique and an early rehabilitation, and the patient is returned quickly as he sees less disability. It is proposed in this paper a type of surgical treatment and an early rehabilitation program, which have shortened the time of disability and incorporation to their daily activities and sports to eight weeks in 10 patients with Achilles tendon plasty.
