Tendon Fixation for Achilles Insertional Tendinopathy

The FiberTak® Achilles SpeedBridge™ implant system is a novel concept in Achilles reattachment following Haglund’s debridement. This repair enables an hourglass pattern of FiberTape® suture and knotless rip-stop to be laid over the tendon’s distal end in a completely knotless 4-anchor configuration. The Achilles SpeedBridge repair provides rigid tendon fixation with improved tendon-to-bone opposition, allowing for immediate postoperative weightbearing and range of motion.1
