Achilles tendinosos is very common ailment causing pain in the posterior leg. It is often associated with “Haglund’s deformity” and Retrocalcaneal exostosis.
All these conditions can be related to fat atrophy with less padding at the ball of the foot. Most over the counter orthotic stop at the metatarsal not helping or supporting the foot in this condition.
The Achilles speedbridge system is then used to reattach the achilles tendon securely on the freshened calcaneus. This repair enables an hourglass pattern of FiberTape suture to be laid over the tendon’s distal end in a completely knotless 4-anchor configuration. The Achilles SpeedBridge repair provides rigid tendon fixation with improved tendon-to-bone contact such that immediate postoperative weightbearing and range of motion are possible.
