The present study reports the outcomes of revision surgery using a Cincinnati incision with tendon debridement and calcaneoplasty for insertional Achilles tendinopathy (IAT) in a cohort of patients at 24-month follow-up. Patients undergoing revision surgery following failed previous surgery for IAT were prospectively recruited. Patients were assessed pre-operatively and at 3, 6,12 and 24 months. The Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment Scale for Achilles Tendinopathy (VISA-A), the EQ5D questionnaire and the visual analogue scale (VAS) were used for evaluation. Data from 33 patients with a mean age of 43.9 years old are reported. 27% (9 of 33 patients) were female. The left side was involved in 58% (19/33) of patients. No clinically relevant complications were reported in any of the patients. Most of subscales of EQ5D improved at last follow-up: Usual Activities ( P  = 0.01), Mobility ( P  = 0.03), Pain/Discomfort ( P  = 0.001), Thermometer ( P  = 0.04). No statistically significant change for the subscales Self-Care ( P  = 0.08) and Anxiety-Depression ( P  = 0.1) was evidenced. The VISA-A score improved significantly at last follow-up ( P  &lt; 0.0001), as did the VAS score ( P  &lt; 0.0001). These results indicated that a Cincinnati incision followed by tendon debridement and calcaneoplasty for revision surgery for IAT is feasible and reliable, achieving clinically relevant improvement in the VISA-A, EQ5D and VAS at 24 months follow-up.

The Cincinnati incision is safe and effective for revision surgery for insertional tendinopathy of the Achilles tendon
