First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two surgical techniques for treating various Achilles tendon disorders, such as chronic tears and tendinopathy. One method uses a small camera (endoscopic) and the other uses a larger open incision. The goal is to see which approach leads to better function, fewer wound problems, and faster return to sports. Thirty adults will be randomly assigned to one of the two surgeries and followed for at least a year.
