TC(1003).(05).Orthopedics Case No 81:- Achilles Tendon Rupture

Achilles Tendon Rupture — বাংলা Clinical Note

Important: Achilles tendon rupture-এ ওষুধ tendon জোড়া লাগায় না। Main treatment হলো immobilization / functional rehabilitation ± surgery। নিচের drug list adult patient, normal renal/liver function ধরে দেওয়া; anticoagulant/antibiotic/opioid অবশ্যই physician/orthopedic surgeon-এর decision অনুযায়ী।


1. Definition

Achilles tendon rupture হলো calf muscle-এর gastrocnemius + soleus tendon বা tendo-Achilles-এর partial/complete tear, যা calcaneus bone-এর পেছনে insert করে। সাধারণত rupture হয় calcaneal insertion থেকে 2–6 cm proximal watershed area-তে। রোগী অনেক সময় বলে: “পেছন থেকে কেউ লাথি মারলো / pop sound হলো।” Clinical diagnosis মূলত history + examination দিয়ে হয়; ultrasound/MRI supportive।


2. Etiology / Cause & Risk Factors

Common cause / mechanism

  • Sudden push-off injury: দৌড় শুরু করা, jump করা, football/badminton/tennis/basketball খেলতে গিয়ে হঠাৎ acceleration।
  • Forced dorsiflexion: পা মাটিতে fixed, ankle হঠাৎ dorsiflexed হলে tendon ছিঁড়ে যায়।
  • Non-contact sports injury: অনেক সময় direct trauma ছাড়াই rupture হয়।

Risk factors

  • Age 30–50 years, male sex: middle-aged male “weekend athlete”-দের common।
  • Previous Achilles tendinopathy: আগে থেকেই tendon degeneration/ব্যথা থাকলে rupture risk বাড়ে।
  • Fluoroquinolone antibiotics: যেমন ciprofloxacin/levofloxacin tendon rupture risk বাড়াতে পারে।
  • Corticosteroid use: systemic steroid বা local steroid injection tendon দুর্বল করতে পারে।
  • Poor conditioning: হঠাৎ intense exercise, warm-up ছাড়া sports।
  • Metabolic/systemic factors: diabetes, obesity, renal disease, rheumatoid arthritis, hypercholesterolemia—tendon quality খারাপ করতে পারে।
  • Previous rupture or inadequate rehab: আগের injury ঠিকমতো heal না হলে re-rupture হতে পারে।

3. Pathophysiology — সহজ ভাষায়

Achilles tendon repeated microtrauma + poor blood supply area-তে degeneration হলে tendon দুর্বল হয়। হঠাৎ load পড়লে collagen fibers fail করে। Complete rupture হলে calf muscle contraction হলেও tendon force calcaneus-এ properly transmit করতে পারে না; তাই রোগী toe-off / tiptoe / push-off করতে পারে না।


4. Clinical Features / Symptoms

  • Sudden sharp pain ankle-এর পেছনে বা lower calf-এ।
  • Audible/feelable “pop” বা snap sensation।
  • রোগী মনে করে “কেউ পেছন থেকে লাথি মেরেছে”।
  • Walking difficulty: বিশেষ করে stairs ওঠা, দৌড়ানো, tiptoe দাঁড়ানো কঠিন।
  • Single heel raise করতে পারে না বা খুব দুর্বল।
  • Swelling + bruising ankle/calf-এর পেছনে।
  • Palpable gap: tendon-এর মধ্যে defect feel হতে পারে, বিশেষ করে acute swelling কম থাকলে।
  • Plantarflexion weakness: তবে active plantarflexion কিছুটা থাকতে পারে, কারণ অন্য flexor muscles কাজ করতে পারে—তাই plantarflexion থাকা মানেই rupture নেই, এমন নয়।

5. Clinical Diagnosis — Specific Examination

A. Inspection

  • Posterior ankle swelling, ecchymosis।
  • Resting foot position compare করুন: affected side কম plantarflexed থাকতে পারে।

B. Palpation

  • Achilles tendon course palpate করে gap/defect দেখুন।
  • Tenderness সাধারণত rupture site-এ।

C. Thompson / Simmonds calf squeeze test

  • Patient prone, foot edge থেকে ঝুলবে।
  • Calf squeeze করলে normal foot plantarflex হবে।
  • No plantarflexion / markedly reduced plantarflexion = positive test, rupture suggestive। Thompson test উচ্চ sensitivity/specificity সহ useful bedside test।

D. Matles test

  • Patient prone, knee 90° flexed।
  • Normal side foot slight plantarflexed থাকে।
  • Rupture side foot neutral/dorsiflexed হয়ে ঝুলে থাকে = positive।

E. Simmonds’ triad

  • Positive calf squeeze test
  • Altered angle of declination / resting tension loss
  • Palpable tendon gap
    এই triad clinically খুব useful।

6. Investigations — Specific

1. X-ray ankle, AP + lateral

Purpose: tendon দেখা যায় না, কিন্তু exclude করতে হয়:

  • calcaneal avulsion fracture
  • calcaneal fracture
  • posterior ankle bony injury
  • other traumatic pathology calcaneal fracture
  • posterior ankle bony injury
  • other traumatic pathology

2. Ultrasound / Dynamic ultrasound

Best first-line imaging when confirmation needed.
দেখায়:

  • partial vs complete rupture
  • rupture site
  • tendon gap size
  • plantarflexion করলে tendon ends approximate করছে কি না
  • hematoma / tendon retraction

Ultrasound gap measurement non-operative vs oper্য করতে পারে, তবে exact gap cut-off নিয়ে evidence limited। citeturn467307view3

3. MRI ankle

Routine acute obvious complete rupture-এ সবসময় দরকার হয় না। দরকার হয়:

  • diagnosis uncertain
  • partial rupture suspected
  • chronic rupture
  • re-rupture
  • surgical planning
  • atypical pain/swelling

4. Pre-operative investigations

Surgery planned হলে:

  • CBC
  • RBS / HbA1c
  • Serum creatinine, electrolytes
  • LFT
  • PT/INR, aPTT if anticoagulant/bleeding risk
  • ECG/CXR according to age/comorbidity

5. Doppler ultrasound

যদি calf swelling/pain disproportionate, immobilization, DVT risk থাকে—DVT exclude করার জন্য।


7. Differential Diagnosis

  • Gastrocnemius strain / “tennis leg”
  • Plantaris tendon rupture
  • Severe ankle sprain
  • Achilles tendinopathy / paratenonitis
  • Calcaneal avulsion fracture
  • Posterior ankle impingement
  • Deep vein thrombosis
  • Sural nerve injury
  • Retrocalcaneal bursitis

8. Complications of Disease — বাংলায়

  • Missed diagnosis → chronic rupture: প্রথমে diagnose না হলে tendon ends দূরে সরে যায়, পরে repair কঠিন হয়।
  • Tendon lengthening: tendon লম্বা হয়ে heal করলে push-off power কমে যায়; হাঁটায় limp থাকে।
  • Calf weakness & atrophy: দীর্ঘ immobilization/rupture-এর কারণে calf muscle শুকিয়ে যায়।
  • Re-rupture: non-operative treatment-এ historically re-rupture বেশি দেখা গেছে, তhab দিলে outcome ভালো হয়; surgery-তেও re-rupture হতে পারে। citeturn467307view3
  • Ankle stiffness: prolonged cast/immobilization-এর কারণে।
  • DVT / Pulmonary embolism: lower-limb immobilization ও surgery-এর কারণে clot risk।
  • Chronic pain / reduced sports performance: full strength ফিরে আসতে 6–12 মাস লাগতে পারে।
  • Surgical complications: wound infection, wound breakdown, scar tenderness, sural nerve injury, adhesions। Surgery-তে r কিন্তু wound/nerve/infection complications বেশি হতে পারে। citeturn467307view3

9. Management / Treatment

A. Immediate management — first aid

  • Stop activity immediately
  • RICE: Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation
  • Non-weight bearing: crutch ব্যবহার
  • Ankle plantarflexion/equinus position-এ splint/boot
  • Urgent orthopedic referral: ideally early, কারণ early treatment outcome ভালো করে।
  • Analgesic দিন, কিন্তু NSAID/anticoagulant/antibiotic self-medication নয়।

B. Definitive treatment

1. Non-operative functional treatment

Suitable হতে পারে:

  • low/moderate demand patient
  • high surgical risk
  • early diagnosis
  • tendon ends plantarflexion-এ approximate করছে
  • patient rehab protocol follow করতে পারবে

Treatment:

  • Functional boot/cast with heel wedges
  • Protected weight-bearing
  • Early controlled ROM
  • Gradual wedge removal
  • Physiotherapy-guided strengthening

AOFAS অনুযায়ী selected patients-এ n effective, especially early functional rehabilitation সহ। citeturn467307view2

2. Operative repair

Consider করা হয়:

  • young/high-demand athlete
  • large tendon gap / poor tendon apposition
  • delayed presentation
  • re-rupture
  • high push-off strength needed occupation
  • chronic rupture

Options:

  • Open repair
  • Percutaneous/minimally invasive repair
  • Chronic rupture হলে tendon augmentation/transfer লাগতে পারে

AOFAS বলেছে acute Achilles rupture-এ **surgical and nonsurgical—দুই treatment-ই patient factors ও surgeon-patient shared decision অনুযায়ী। citeturn467307view1

3. Rehabilitation — practical outline

  • 0–2 weeks: splint/cast/boot in plantarflexion, swelling control।
  • 2–6 weeks: boot + heel wedges, protected weight-bearing, gentle ROM।
  • 6–12 weeks: wedge removal, progressive ROM, strengthening।
  • 3–6 months: jogging/functional training if strength adequate।
  • 6–12 months: sports return, depending on strength symmetry and functional testing।

  3. Pantoprazole — NSAID দিলে gastric protection।
  4. Tramadol — severe acute/post-op pain rescue, short course।
  5. Cefazolin IV — only operation-এর peri-operative prophylaxis।
  6. Enoxaparin or Rivaroxaban — immobilization/post-op high VTE risk থাকলে DVT/PE prevention।
  7. Cefuroxime — routine নয়; only wound/infection/open injury/surgeon protocol।

Avoid / caution: fluoroquinolone antibiotic unnecessary হলে avoid; steroid injection around Achilles avoid; multiple NSAID একসাথে নয়; NSAID + anticoagulant combination bleeding risk বাড়ায়।


12. Prevention

  • Exercise/shoe change-এর আগে gradual conditioning করুন।
  • Sports-এর আগে warm-up + calf stretching।
  • Calf strengthening: eccentric heel-drop, soleus/gastrocnemius strengthening।
  • Sudden high-intensity sports avoid, especially deconditioned হলে।
  • Previous Achilles pain থাকলে early treatment; pain ignore করে খেলবেন না।
  • Fluoroquinolone antibiotic + steroid use history থাকলে tendon pain হলে immediately stop high-load activity and review।
  • Proper footwear and heel support।
  • Diabetes/obesity/hyperlipidemia control।
  • Rehab incomplete থাকা অবস্থায় sports return করবেন না।
  • Return-to-sport decision: pain-free ROM, calf strength near symmetric, single heel raise ability, functional testing pass।

Overview / Summary

Achilles tendon rupture হলো calf muscle tendon-এর partial/complete tear, সাধারণত sudden push-off বা forced dorsiflexion injury-তে হয়। Diagnosis বেশিরভাগ ক্ষেত্রে clinical—pop sound, posterior ankle pain, walking difficulty, positive Thompson test, palpable gap। Ultrasound first-line confirmation; MRI selective। Treatment হলো functional immobilization/rehab ± surgical repair। Drug therapy শুধু pain control, gastric protection, infection prophylaxis, and DVT prophylaxis-এর জন্য—tendon heal করানোর primary treatment নয়।


Actionable Plan / Steps

  1. Suspected rupture হলে immediately sports বন্ধ করুন।
  2. Ankle plantarflexion position-এ splint/boot দিন, non-weight-bearing করুন।
  3. Thompson test + Matles test + palpable gap clinically assess করুন।
  4. X-ray দিয়ে fracture exclude করুন; ultrasound দিয়ে rupture confirm/gap assess করুন।
  5. Orthopedic referral করুন—operative vs non-operative decision patient demand, gap, chronicity, comorbidity অনুযায়ী।
  6. Pain: paracetamol first-line; NSAID short course if no contraindication; PPI if NSAID risk।
  7. Surgery হলে cefazolin peri-op; immobilization/high-risk হলে VTE prophylaxis consider।
  8. Rehab protocol strictly follow করুন; premature sports return করবেন না।
