Percutaneous technique for Achilles tendon repair. (A) The suture was inserted through the most distal medial incision, and it was directed toward the corresponding distal lateral incision. (B) The suture was cross-passed from the medial side to the lateral side utilizing the distal incisions closest to the rupture. (C) The suture on the lateral side was then threaded through the most proximal lateral incision. (D) The suture was again cross-passed from the lateral to the medial side through the proximal incisions nearest to the rupture
