NCT03525314 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 67

Last updated 2022-03-16

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The objective of this study is to examine how elongation of the Achilles tendon develops during the first year after rupture among patients with an Achilles tendon rupture, and how it affects physical function.

The aim is to define a cutoff of acceptable elongation dividing the patients who obtain normal physical function (Limb Symmetry Index \> 90%) from those who do not.

Patients treated both operatively and non-operatively will be included.
