Achilles tendon ruptures operated on under local anesthesia. Retrospective study of 81 nonhospitalized patients.

During a 6-year period, 97 patients with an acute rupture of the Achilles tendon were operated on under local anesthesia as outpatients. At follow-up, 5/81 patients had some discomfort. A rerupture occurred in 3 patients shortly after commencing weight bearing and after substantial traumas. We conclude that there is no need to hospitalize patients with an Achilles tendon rupture.

Wilson shaft osteotomy for hallux valgus.

The results of a modified Wilson shaft osteotomy for hallux valgus in 77 feet of 51 patients were excellent or good in 62 feet after 2 to 4 years. The correction of the hallux valgus angle and intermetatarsal angle was excellent or good in 69 feet. The operation is technically simple provided dorsal angulation of the distal fragment is avoided in the early postoperative period.
