Introduction: In addition to conservative modalities in the treatment of Achilles tendon injuries, open, percutaneous and minimally invasive semi-open techniques, as well as biological open surgical repair methods are used as surgical options. Compression elastography is one of the methods used for the follow-up of treatment in Achilles tendon injuries. Methods: 23 patients were included in our study between July 2013 and June 2014, as long as they had at least 4 years of follow-up. In the final control, the intact side and the operated side were both examined and compared. The variables were the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS) which is measured as a functional score considering plantar flexion and dorsiflexion; calf circumference; Achilles tendon anteroposterior (AP) diameter; and elastographic examination. Results: The strain ratio value and AP diameter of the patients was significantly higher on the operated side than on the non-operated side (p <0.001). There was no significant difference between the plantar flexion and dorsiflexion degrees on the operated side of the patients (p> 0.05). No correlation was observed between strain ratio and AOFAS (p: 0,995). Conclusion: Elastography is not a useful technique to evaluate functional results on long-term tendon healing.

Patella infera or patellar tendon adherence after high tibial osteotomy
Gökay, Nevzat Selim; Erginer, Rifat; Dervişoğlu, Sergülen; Yalçın, Mehmet Burak; Gökçe, Alper (Springer, 2014)Alterations in patellar height after high tibial osteotomy are found in many instances. Fibrosis of the tendon is implicated as the cause of the mechanism of patella lowering. This study aimed to determine the relationship ... -
Arthroscopic reconstruction of a ruptured patellar tendon: a technical note
Gökçe, Alper; Ekici, Hüseyin; Erdoğan, Fahri (Springer, 2008)A traumatic patellar tendon rupture of a 35-year-old, otherwise healthy male was reconstructed with semi-tendinosus and gracillis tendons. Tendon grafts were harvested with an open-ended tendon stripper without dissecting ...
