Clinical Overview & Methodology

Achilles Tendon Repair restores the integrity of the thickest tendon in the human body following an acute rupture. Dr. Ketan Kheni utilizes minimally invasive percutaneous and mini-open anatomical repair techniques with high-tensile locking sutures. This approach minimizes wound complications, preserves skin blood supply, and allows early functional weightbearing in an articulated boot.
