Completed

• Conditions: Healthy

• Registration Number: NCT01112605
• Lead Sponsor: Meir Medical Center

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to define the standardization of the distance between the Sural nerve \& Achilles tendon, in otherwise healthy persons and athletes.

Detailed Description

The distance between the two anatomic structures is measured by US and data is analyzed to define the standardized distance in the population in order to avoid damage to the sural nerve while repairing an Achilles tendon rupture using the percutaneous methode.
