Biomechanical comparison of new Achilles tendon rupture repair technique the ``Giftbox'' versus the Krackow technique in New Zealand white rabbits: An experimental animal study
Introduction: To compare the strength between the Achilles tendons repaired with the ``Giftbox'' and the Krackow techniques in New Zealand white rabbits post six weeks of tendon healing. Materials and Methods: Eight rabbits were randomized into Giftbox and Krackow groups. Tenotomy was perf...
