Abstract:
Atraumatic spontaneous Achilles tendon ruptures sometimes occur in patients receiving oral corticosteroids. In general, these cases are treated surgically; however, delayed postoperative management can lead to impaired activities of daily living. The modified side-locking loop suture (SLLS) technique is a useful suture method for safe and early active mobilization. Three cases of spontaneous Achilles tendon ruptures were treated with the modified SLLS technique with good clinical results. The modified SLLS technique is a useful method with a short rehabilitation period for treating atraumatic spontaneous Achilles tendon rupture in patients undergoing corticosteroid therapy.

Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
