AbstrakRuptur tendon achilles adalah cedera yang paling sering terjadi pada tendon ekstremitas bawah, meskipun merupakan tendon yang terbesar dan terkuat. Penelitian ini bertujuan menjelaskan teknik operasi dengan modifikasi augmentation pada penatalaksanaan ruptur tendon Achilles yang disertai kerusakan pada jaringan lunak yang luas. Kasus pada penelitian ini adalah seorang pasien (usia 30 tahun) dengan ruptur terbuka tendon Achilles akut dan terinfeksi, serta hilangnya tendon sampai dengan 5 cm, kecacatan tendon yang tidak menempel di bagian distal dan hilangnya sebagian tulang calcaneus. Kerusakan kulit diukur setelah dilakukan debridemen dengan rentan antara 8 cmx5 cm sampai dengan 15 cmx10 cm. Ruptur pada tendon dijahit dengan gastrosoleus turn down flap ke tulang calcaneus. Reverse sural artery digunakan untuk menutupi kulit. Flap yang dibuat berhasil hidup. Pasien dapat berjalan normal, dapat berdiri dengan ujung kaki, fleksi plantar yang aktif, dan dapat kembali beraktivitas dalam 2 bulan setelah operasi. Pasien memiliki rentang gerak penuh ke segala arah. Achilles tendon rupture is the most common ruptur of tendon in the lower limb despite being one of the toughest tendons. This rupture presents a complex problem to the treating surgeon especially if it is associated with tendon and soft tissue loss. The case in this study is one patient (male, age 30-year old) with a spectrum of acute and infected open tendon-achilles rupture that includes loss of tendon of up to 5 cm, tendon defect with no distal attachment, and partial loss of the calcaneum. The skin defect measured after debridement ranged from 8 x 5 cm to 15 x 10 cm. The ruptured tendon was sutured using gastrocnemius-soleus turn down flap technic to calcaneus bone. A reverse sural artery was used to provide soft tissue cover. The flap survived. The patient had normal gait, were able to stand on tip toes, had active plantar flexion, and had returned to his original occupation 2 months after reconstruction. He had full range of movement at the ankle. Augmented repair of Achilles tendon rupture with large soft tissue defect using gastrocnemius-soleus turn down flap and sural artery flap are stable enough to allow early weight-bearing with favorable clinical result for this patient. Conclusions is single stage tendon reconstruction and reverse flow sural artery flap give good functional outcome in complex Achilles tendon rupture with tendon and soft tissue loss.

Introduction: Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction is one of the most common, problems of the foot and ankle. Tenosynovitis of the posterior tibial tendon (PTT) is an often unrecognized form of PTT dysfunction. Case: A 54-year-old woman presented with left ankle pain that began while morning walk three days prior. She noted that the left ankle hurt with even light touch and the pain was unrelieved with sodium diclofenac. She denied any history of trauma. She was seen in the outpatient clinic for this condition. On examination, a three centimeter area of pain was found posterior to the medial malleolus and parallel to the PTT. She also had a stage I flat foot and mild soft tissue swelling around medial malleolus region on her radiograph examination. Ultrasound examination was done with the result of anechoic fluid visible in the peritendinous space around the PTT. The patient received diagnosis of PTT tenosynovitis, with the foot and ankle disability index (FADI) score was 58.7. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) injection was done twice with an interlude of two weeks. The pain subsided and the following FADI score was 84.6. Outcome: Patient showed improvement in her left ankle PTT tenosynovitis after two PRP injection. Conclusion: This case report highlights the efficacy of PRP as a modality in managing PTT tenosynovitis.
