Materials and Methods: We performed a retrospective study on 24 patients (group 1) managed with percutaneous repair, and 21 patients (group 2) managed with open repair for acute Achilles tendon rupture. The postoperative evaluations were done by an Arner-Lindholm scale and AOFAS score. Postoperative overall satisfaction and cosmetic satisfaction were also evaluated. Results: By Arner-Lindholm scale and AOFAS score, there was no difference between two groups (p<0.05). As for postoperative overall satisfaction, 5 cases were very satisfied, 16 cases were satisfied and 3 cases were fair in group 1. In group 2, 12 cases were very satisfied, 9 cases were satisfied. For postoperative cosmetic satisfaction, 13 cases were satisfied, 11 cases were fair in group 1. In group 2, 9 cases were very satisfied, 12 cases satisfied. In open repair group, a case of deep wound infection and three cases of skin necrosis were reported as complication. 2 cases of sural nerve injury were seen in percutaneous repair group and were recovered within 3 months. Conclusion: Percutaneous repair of acute Achilles tendon ruptures have high level of cosmetic satisfaction compared with open repair without any significant difference in clinical outcomes.

First, a long needle was transversely passed through the tendon (A), followed by a (diagonal) cross-suture (B). At each site of the first needle entrance or exit, the incision was widened in a longitudinal direction with a NO. 11 blade to enable the surgeon to bury the suture subcutaneously (B). A small hemostat could also be used to widen the hole and to facilitate burying the suture. (C), and the next cross through the tendon was done proximally. Next, both thread ends were led extratendionously back through the second and third holes distally (D) and pulled symmetrically back until both ends of the torn Achilles tendon were completely approximated and the defect was no longer palpable (D). After approximating the torn Achilles tendon ends, the lateral end of the thread was passed medially (E), and after final simultaneous tightening of both ends of the thread, the suture was tied (F). The knots were buried subcutaneously in the previously widened second medial stab incision (F)

Cretnik 등 12) 이제안한 Ma와 Griffith의술식을변형한방법으로경피적봉합술을시행하였으며, 전예에서 2번 Ethibond (Ethicon Inc. N.J., U.S.) 봉합사를사용하여수술을시행하였다. 술전파열위치및간격확인을위해초음파를사용하였으며파열부위를촉지하고아킬레스건부착부위의약 1.5 cm 상방에서 5 mm 피부종절개후내측에서외측으로평행하게봉합사를통과시키고반대편에같은절개창으로봉합사를빼낸후, 사선으로교차시켜파열부위약 1 cm 원위부에서통과시킨다. 이때작은지혈겸자를사용하여봉합사가피하로묻히게한다. 다음으로파열부위근위의약 5 cm 상방에서피부절개창을만들어수직으로실을빼낸후사선으로교차시켜파열부위약 1 cm 위에서통과시킨다. 이후족관절을족저굴곡시킨후봉합사를원위부로견인하여파열부위를정복후, 외측에있는봉합사를평행하게내측으로통과시켜내측에서긴장매듭하였다 (Fig. 1). 이후양측의긴장도를비교하였으며피부봉합전적절한정복이이루어졌는지를확인하기위해술후건파열부위의간격을초음파를통해측정하였다. 3) 수술후조치슬관절 25도굴곡, 족관절은봉합후족저굴곡된상태에서장하지고정을 6주간시행하였다이후부츠보조기 (walker boots) 나 AFO 보조기 (anklefoot orthosis) 를착용후능동적족관절운동을시작하였다. 술후 6주에는환자스스로수동적족관절운동을시행하도록하였으며, 보조기착용상태에서체중의 50% 정도의부분체중부하를허용하였다. 술후 8주에족저굴곡근력강화운동및보조기착용상태에서완전체중부하를허용하였다. 술후 10~12 주에보조기제거후완전체중부하및뒤꿈치들기근력운동을적극적으로시행하였으며, 이시기까지족관절의최대운동범위를얻도록노력하였다. 3. 수술후평가술후임상적결과분석에대해서는 Arner-Lindholm 평가기준 13) (Table 2) 과미국정형외과족부족관절학회족관절-후족부기능평가기준 (American Orthopedic Foot and Table 2.

Arner-Lindholm 평가기준은불편감정도, 보행근력, 뒤꿈치들고서기, 종아리근력, 족관절운동정도, 중간장딴지둘레등의항목에대한평가를기준으로하여우수, 양호, 불량으로구분하였다. 족관절운동범위측정은각도측정기를이용하여술후 6주, 12주, 최종추시시에측정하였다. AOFAS 기능평가는동통, 기능및정렬등 3개소분류로구분되며, 기능평가는최대보행거리, 보행표면및보행조건등에대해서조사분석하였다. 환자의만족도는최종추시시술후전반적인결과및술후상처에대한환자의주관적인평가로매우만족, 만족, 보통, 불만족등의 4단계로각각분류평가하였다. 결 과 본연구의술후추시기간은개방적봉합술그룹 (1 군 ) 에

AOFAS 점수는 1군에서평균 94.1점 (81~100점), 2군에서는평균 94.7점 (91~100 점 ) 으로양군간차이는없었다 (p=0.624). 수술및수술후생활에대한만족도는 1군에서매우만족이 5예 (20.8%), 만족이 16예 (66.7%), 보통이 3예 (12.5%) 의결과를보였으며, 2군에서는매우만족이 12예 (57.1%), 만족이 9예 (42.9%) 의결과를보였다. 술후상처및흉터에대한만족도는 1군에서는매우만족이 0예, 만족이 13예 (54.2%), 보통이 11예 (45.8%) 의결과를보였으며, 2군에서는매우만족이 9예 (42.9%), 만족이 12예 (57.1%) 의결과를나타내었다. 합병증으로관혈적건봉합술을시행한군에서심부감염이 1예, 피부괴사가 3예있었으며경피적건봉합술을시행한군에서는비복신경손상이 2예있었으나추시 3개월안에회복되었다. 고찰아직까지도아킬레스건파열시가장좋은치료방법에대한의견이분분하다. 아킬레스건파열의관혈적건봉합기법은여러치료방법중해부학적및기능적인회복에있어가장효과적인치료방법이다. 기존의관혈적건봉합술

Ma와 Griffith 18) 는작은개방창을통해봉합사를경피적으로삽입함으로써건복원을시행한 18명중 2명만이경미한창상문제를보였을뿐감염이나재파열예는없었다고보고하였다. Maffulli 19) 는변형된경피적건봉합을통해봉합된건의긴장력에있어기존의경피적봉합기법에비해두배정도의강도를나타내기때문에조기체중부하보행이가능하며재파열의빈 도를줄이고비복신경손상을최소화할수있음을보고하였다. 또한 Gigante 등 20) 은경피적봉합술이관혈적봉합술과비교하였을때임상결과의차이는없음을주장하였다. 본연구에서경피적건봉합에사용된술식은미용적으로환자의만족도가높았으며전반적으로기존의개방성 modified Kessler 봉합술과유사한좋은기능회복결과를보였다. 또한작은절개로인해건주위조직의손상을최소화함으로써파열건의치유가빠르며, 건유착이적었다. 무엇보다도환자들은작은창상반흔의미용적인효과에대해만족해하는경향을보였다. 고전적인관혈적접근법과비교할때임상적결과에있어큰차이를보이지않았으나관혈적인건봉합술의경우창상봉합부위의심부감염이일부발생하였음을확인할수있었다. 또한본연구의경피적건봉합술군의경우변형된방법의경피적건봉합법을사용함으로써재파열의합병증이발생하지않음을확인하였으며 Kessler 또는 Krackow 등의개방적봉합술에사용되는봉합법과개선된방법의경피적건봉합법의봉합강도를직접비교분석하는연구를착안해볼수있을것이다. 더나아가기존의흔히사용되었던방법외에합병증을최소화할수있는여러기법들이소개되고있는데그중 Maffulli 19) 는절개부위를최소화하여수술창상에의한합병증을감소되었음을보고하였고, Kakiuchi 21) 는파열부위에

Jung과 Paik 2) 은 Achillon을이용한최소절개술법을사용하였으며임상적인최종결과평가시에수상전상태로의복귀시기및능률도를묻는항목을포함시켰다. 또한 Tang 등 8) 은관절경을이용한경피적건봉합을시행함으로써임상적인결과의향상및회복기간의단축을확인하였다. 결 론 아킬레스건파열의수술적치료에있어서경피적봉합술은관혈적봉합술과비교하였을때미용적으로는만족스러운결과를보였으나임상적결과에는큰차이가없었으며특히개선된방법의경피적봉합술을사용함으로써재파열의감소및사회로의빠른복귀를가능하게하였다.
