Shin Hyun-young of the Democratic Party of Korea, “half Achilles tendon” was distributed to 232 hospitals nationwide, including famous orthopedics, from August 2013 to January 2019. 91 people were found to have performed the most defective Achilles tendon surgery at S University Hospital in Seoul, 82 and 63 people, respectively Experts stressed that patients should be notified quickly as there is a high risk of secondary rupture Jeong Hyeong-joon, a rehabilitation medicine specialist, chairman of the policy committee of the Humanitarian Practice Physicians’ Council, said, “It is necessary to follow up on areas that may be less stable in terms of physical function.”

(2)According to the unauthorized human tissue transplant obtained by the Korea Economic Daily from Rep. Shin Hyun-young of the Democratic Party of Korea on the 10th, a total of 6,500 patients with defective Achilles tendon transplants were identified by the police, and the list of 1895 people was notified to the National Health Insurance Service 944 patients in their 20s and 30s accounted for half of the total It was followed by 363 people in their 50s, 353 people in their 40s, and 187 people in their 60s A medical official said, “Young patients are active, so there is a high risk of re-cracking if a half Achilles tendon is transplanted,” adding, “There are likely to be many patients who have already been re-cracked.”
(3)The prosecution launched a supplementary investigation into the distribution of half-chilles tendon Son Jeong-hyun, the second chief prosecutor of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office, reportedly requested a supplementary investigation into the case of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency sending 85 people, including 26 representatives of unauthorized Achilles tendon import and delivery companies, 6 salespeople, 30 doctors, and 22 nurses without detention.

(1)We need to tell the patient who’s worried about re-fracturing
(2)The NHIC is not even able to identify patients with half-challenged Achilles tendon A total of 6,500 people are known to have been affected, but the police have not shared data on all the affected patients. So far, only 1,895 people have been found on the affected list. “We are discussing related measures as there is no legal basis for informing the affected patients of the treatment of a defective Achilles tendon,” said an official at the NHIC
(3)Experts predicted that the affected patients who transplanted the half-chilles tendon could demand compensation from the hospital or the government, such as surgery costs. Jeong Pil-seung, a doctor-turned lawyer at the law firm Woo Sung-seung, said, “Doctors can tell by the naked eye that it is not a normal thickness when performing Achilles tendon transplantation, and not only the company that delivered the half-chilles tendon, but also the government agencies that neglected to manage and supervise the half-chilles tendon can demand compensation for damages.”
