360-Degree Reconstruction for Complex Ankle Injuries (Achilles Tendon, Posterior Tibial, and Ligament Injuries)

Master the treatment of complex ankle injuries. This training offers a technical immersion in the "360-degree reconstruction" approach for Achilles tendon ruptures, posterior tibial tendon dislocation, and multiple ligament injuries, presented from a surgical perspective.

Training Focus:

• Reconstruction of complex ankle injuries.
• Achilles tendon repair.
• Management of posterior tibial tendon dislocation.
• Reconstruction of ankle ligament injuries (deltoid and syndesmosis).
• Incision techniques to avoid skin necrosis and allow functional restoration.

Detailed Content:

• Strategic Incision Planning: Methodology for marking incisions that allow access to multiple injuries, minimizing the risk of skin necrosis.
• Anatomical Repair of the Achilles Tendon: Technique for osteosynthesis of the Achilles tendon using FiberTape and high-strength sutures (Krackow stitch) for primary stability.
• Restoration of the Posterior Tibial Tendon: Approach for reinsertion of the dislocated posterior tibial tendon into its original groove, including repair of the ruptured retinaculum to restore functional biomechanics.
• Detailed Ligament Reconstruction (Deltoid and Syndesmosis): Techniques for reinsertion of the anterior and posterior portions of the deltoid ligament with anchors, and stabilization of the syndesmosis with a fixation device.
• Neurovascular Protection: Strategies for identifying and protecting adjacent neurovascular structures during surgical access.
• Closure by Layers: A systematic approach to closing multiple incisions, ensuring the integrity of the osteofibrous tunnels.
• Detailed Visualization (Surgical Perspective): Analysis of the procedure focusing on surgical steps and intraoperative decisions.

Included Material:

• Detailed PDF: Practical summary of the procedure, covering preoperative planning, repair techniques for the Achilles tendon, approach to the medial structures (posterior tibial and deltoid), syndesmosis reconstruction, and closure by layers.
