NJ Top Docs Presents, Dr. Eugene Batelli of Metropolitan Ankle & Foot Care Specialists
Scotch Plains, NJ (PRWEB) July 27, 2015 -- Eugene Batelli, D.P.M., F.A.C.F.A.S, just recently performed an innovative surgery to repair the Achilles tendon of an accomplished athlete. “The patient is high-end athlete, whose accomplishments include running in 27 triathlons and swimming the English Chanel. He came to me after 8 months of Achilles tendon pain, which was diagnosed as tendinitis. I did an ultrasound and found a partial chronic (old) tear. MRI confirmed the diagnosis. We tried shock wave therapy and physical therapy first, which improved the patient 50% but then plateaud. The traditional repair is a long incision down back of the leg with recovery of 8-12 weeks. I did a mini-repair by basically making a 2 cm incision to one side of the tear. I used an ultrasonic debrider called Tenex to remove the scar tissue and dead tissue. I then repaired the tendon and put an amniotic membrane graft oer it to act as a scaffold for healing by recruiting stem cells and speeding up recovery. He will be on crutches for 3 weeks but starts PT after 1, week. The patient will be walking in a sneaker by week 5 and hopefully running by 12 weeks,” says Dr. Batelli.
