Procedure

Achilles Midsubstance SpeedBridge repair combines the minimal incision PARS technique with 2 SwiveLock® anchors into the calcaneus for a knotless repair. This procedure eliminates the weakest part of an Achilles repair, the knots, by using interference fixation of the suture after reapproximating the tendon rupture. The PARS technique or a traditional repair can be used on the proximal stump and then the suture is passed percutaneously through the distal stump to the Achilles insertion site. By eliminating the knots, the repair may provide additional strength than the traditional open repair while limiting wound issues with a small incision.
The newly launched PARS SutureTape provides the surgeon with 1.3 mm SutureTape suture which offers increased resistance to tissue pull-through, stronger knotted and knotless fixation, tighter and smaller knot stacks and better all-around handling characteristics.1

FiberWire® suture can be used for open Achilles repair. As compared to standard polyester suture, FiberWire suture has superior strength that provides tighter loop security during knot tying and increased knot integrity, while reducing knot profile.1

PARS SutureTape Technique for Achilles Rupture

Knee

Ruptures of the quadriceps and patellar tendons are common in elite and recreational athletes. Most surgeons treat these injuries surgically to lessen the risk of long-term disability and morbidity.&nbsp;
Historically, open techniques have been used for rupture repairs, but these techniques may be complicated by wound-healing issues and infection. The minimally invasive Percutaneous Achilles Repair System (PARS) technique can be used to treat quadriceps, patellar, and Achilles tendon ruptures.

Patellar Tendon Repair

Ruptures of the quadriceps and patellar tendons are common in elite and recreational athletes. Most surgeons treat these injuries surgically to lessen the risk of long-term disability and morbidity. Historically, open techniques have been used for rupture repairs but may be complicated by wound-healing issues and infection. The minimally invasive Percutaneous Achilles Repair System (PARS) technique can be used to treat quadriceps, patellar, and Achilles tendon ruptures.
The PARS technique helps facilitate consistent capture of the distal aspect of the quadriceps tendon and includes color-coded FiberWire® and FiberTape® sutures. The anatomically contoured guide is reusable, while the suture and passing needles come packaged in a convenient kit. Choose transverse suture, locking suture, or both. The colored FiberWire sutures offer a more organized approach to identifying and securing matched pairs.
