Objective To investigate the clinical application and effectiveness of V-Y plasty combined with gastrocnemius aponeurosis turndown in the repair of Myerson type Ⅲ chronic Achilles tendon rupture combined with large tendon defect. Methods Between February 2008 and July 2019, 25 patients underwent the V-Y plasty combined with gastrocnemius aponeurosis turndown to treat the Myerson type Ⅲ chronic Achilles tendon rupture. There were 21 males and 4 females. The age ranged from 17 to 56 years, with an average of 34.3 years. Achilles tendon rupture was caused by sports injury in all patients, and the duration from Achilles tendon rupture to operation was 31-70 days, with an average of 53.9 days. After resection of fibrous scar tissue, the distance of Achilles tendon defect was 7-12 cm, with an average of 9.04 cm. The clinical results were evaluated by the Achilles tendon total rupture score (ATRS), American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, dorsiflexion and heel raise height before and after operation. Results The donor and recipient wounds of all 25 cases healed by first intention after operation. All patients were followed up 24 months. During the follow-up, 3 patients developed mild wound infection, which was cured after anti-infection treatment. One patient had Achilles tendon exposure, which was cured after local flap transfer and repair. Ultrasound and MRI reexamination at 3-12 months after operation showed no Achilles tendon elongation, adhesion, or re-rupture. At 24 months after operation, the ATRS score, AOFAS score, dorsiflexion and heel raise height of affected side significantly improved when compared with those before operation (P<0.05). However, the dorsiflexion and heel raise height of affected side were still significantly worse than those of the healthy side (P<0.05). Conclusion V-Y plasty combined with gastrocnemius aponeurosis turndown to repair the chronic Achilles tendon rupture can achieve good effectiveness, and the Achilles tendon function significantly improved after repair. However, the procedure is more invasive and has a long duration of intraoperative wound exposure, causing an increased risk of infection, and the aesthetic is not good.
