简要总结
A total of 56 patients completed a previous study regarding non-operative treatment for acute achilles tendon rupture. This study consists of an additional follow up after 4-5 years depending on original date of injury.
详细描述
30 patients suffering from acute Achilles tendon rupture was originally randomized to each arm, and followed up after 6 and 12 months. Of these a total of 56 patients was included in the final analysis, and invited to participate in this additional follow-up, 4-5 years after their original injury. Originally patients was monitored using: ATRS questionnaires, ATRA: Achilles Tendon Resting Angle, Heel Raise Work: number of lifts, lift height and total work, and tests of strength and stiffness in the ankle using a kinetic dynamometer.
