ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on understanding how different treatment methods for an acute Achilles tendon rupture affect a person's ability to function after rehabilitation. An Achilles tendon rupture is a common injury, especially among active individuals aged 30 to 50, and it often occurs during sports that involve jumping or quick changes in direction. The study aims to find out what factors influence recovery and functional status after patients have gone through rehabilitation, whether they were treated with surgery or without surgery.

To participate in this trial, individuals need to be at least 18 years old and have had a complete rupture of their Achilles tendon that was treated within 14 days of the injury. Participants will be asked to provide informed consent, meaning they agree to be part of the study after understanding what it involves. The trial is currently recruiting participants, and it’s important to note that those with ruptures in both Achilles tendons or those who have had a previous rupture that has re-ruptured are not eligible to join. Participants can expect to undergo evaluations that assess their recovery and functional ability, helping researchers learn more about the best ways to support healing from this type of injury.
