Summary

The goal of this observational study is to compare the outcomes of two different surgical techniques (Endoscopic Flexor Hallucis Longus transfer - Group 1 vs Minimally Invasive primary repair - Group 2) for patients with acute Achilles tendon rupture. The main questions to be answered are:

1. Which group's patients are more satisfied?
2. Which group's patients appear to have a greater complication rate?
3. Which group's patients have greater calf and ankle circumference compared to the unaffected limb?
4. Which group's patients have greater passive and active range of ankle motion compared to the unaffected limb?
5. Are group 1 patients characterized by strength deficit in hallux flexion power?
