Accelerated Rehabilitation in Non-operative Management of Acute Achilles Tendon Ruptures: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Laurens Coopmans et al.

Summary: The optimal treatment and rehabilitation strategy for Achilles tendon ruptures is still debated. This study found that accelerated functional rehabilitation in nonoperative management of acute Achilles tendon ruptures had a small treatment effect. However, it is recommended for all conservatively treated patients due to its safety and preference among patients.

No clinically relevant difference between operative and non-operative treatment in tendon elongation measured with the Achilles tendon resting angle (ATRA) 1 year after acute Achilles tendon rupture

Allan Cramer et al.

Summary: The study found no significant difference in Achilles tendon elongation at 1-year follow-up between patients treated with operative or non-operative methods. This suggests that operative treatment does not lead to a clinically significant reduction in tendon elongation compared to non-operative treatment.

Postoperative Rehabilitation Following Achilles Tendon Repair: A Systematic Review

Heath P. Gould et al.

Summary: The optimal postoperative management of Achilles tendon rupture remains unknown, but early weightbearing with less rigid immobilization seems to accelerate short-term functional recovery. However, there is wide variation in results among studies, and further research is needed to determine long-term effects.
