Pearls and Pitfalls of Rotational Fiber Track

Pearls	Pitfalls
The natural Achilles tendon fiber track should be carefully identified.	The surgeon should avoid not taking the time to carefully identify the fiber track.
A marker should be used to note the fiber track path and where cuts will be made.	Not drawing out the fiber track may cause the surgeon to lose the fiber track.
During cutting, time should be taken to ensure that the fiber track is followed.	There is a risk of not following the fibers during cutting.
