RESUMO
Minimally invasive approaches for the Achilles tendon have emerged as viable alternatives for acute Achilles ruptures, with several potential benefits in comparison to the open approach. Occasionally, proper purchase in the proximal tendon stump is not achieved due to severe degenerative disease of the tendon. In this article, we present a technique in which a small accessory incision is used during percutaneous Achilles repair in order to pass the sutures in a more proximal and healthy area of the tendon. This technique is useful for situations in which adequate tendon grasp is not obtained, avoiding the need of conversion to an open approach.Level of Evidence: Level V: Expert opinion.
