The Achilles tendon resting angle as an indirect measure of Achilles tendon length following rupture, repair, and rehabilitation
Background Rupture of the Achilles tendon may result in reduced functional activity and reduced plantar flexion strength. These changes may arise from elongation of the Achilles tendon. An observational study was performed to quantify the Achilles tendon resting angle (ATRA) in patients following Achilles tendon rupture, surgical repair, and rehabilitation, respectively. Methods Between May 2...
متن کاملOperative versus Nonoperative Treatment of Acute Achilles Tendon Ruptures
Background: To date, studies directly comparing the rerupture rate in patients with an Achilles tendon rupture who are treated with surgical repair with the rate in patients treated nonoperatively have been inconclusive but the pooled relative risk of rerupture favored surgical repair. In all but one study, the limb was immobilized for six to eight weeks. Published studies of animals and humans...
متن کاملAchilles Tendon Rupture: Avoiding Tendon Lengthening during Surgical Repair and Rehabilitation
Achilles tendon rupture is a serious injury for which the best treatment is still controversial. Its primary goal should be to restore normal length and tension, thus obtaining an optimal function. Tendon elongation correlates significantly with clinical outcome; lengthening is an important cause of morbidity and may produce permanent functional impairment. In this article, we review all factor...
متن کاملAcute Achilles tendon rupture: minimally invasive surgery versus non operative treatment, with immediate full weight bearing. Design of a randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND We present the design of an open randomized multi-centre study on surgical versus conservative treatment of acute Achilles tendon ruptures. The study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of conservative treatment in reducing complications when treating acute Achilles tendon rupture. METHODS/DESIGN At least 72 patients with acute Achilles tendon rupture will be randomized to mi...
متن کاملRepairing an achilles tendon rupture using the partial lindholm technique augmented by the plantaris tendon: a case report.
Many techniques have been described for the treatment of an acute achilles tendon rupture, but there is unfortunately no agreement between orthopedic surgeons regarding the best repair technique and post-treatment rehabilitation protocol. Overall, the surgical methods can be classified as either an open procedure or as a percutaneous procedure. While numerous techniques have been described for ...
متن کاملHigh-Frequency Color Doppler Ultrasound in Diagnosis, Treatment, and Rehabilitation of Achilles Tendon Injury
BACKGROUND This study evaluated the clinical application of high-frequency color Doppler ultrasonography (HFCDU) in the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of Achilles tendon injury. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 68 patients with suspected Achilles tendon injury were examined by HFCDU. There were 42 Achilles tendon injury patients who underwent surgery, and they were randomly divided int...
