A study led by Ettore Vulcano, MD, of New York City-based Mount Sinai found a minimally invasive procedure for achilles tendonitis was effective in as little as six weeks.
Dr. Vulcano’s study focused on a keyhole procedure called a percutaneous Zadek osteotomy, according to a Sept. 11 news release. The procedure showed high patient satisfaction and a low complication rate.
The percutaneous Zadek osteotomy also showed significant pain reduction and relief in under two months. Traditional open techniques for achilles tendonitis can take as long as a year for recovery.
