4. 2. Chronic Achilles Tendon Rupture - Perspectives on outcomes after surgical treatment and rehabilitation

   Author : Anna Nordenholm; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; chronic achilles tendon rupture; outcome; heel-rise; tendon length; gait biomechanics; patient experiences; cost analysis;

   Abstract : Chronic Achilles tendon rupture (CATR) is a rupture of the Achilles tendon for which adequate diagnosis and treatment has been delayed after index injury. In this thesis defined as 4 weeks or more. The delay is commonly due to a misdiagnosis by the assessing healthcare professional or because of patient delay. READ MORE

5. 3. Achilles tendon rupture: the evaluation and outcome of percutaneous and minimally invasive repair

   Author : Michael R Carmont; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Achilles tendon rupture; percutaneous; minimally-invasive; outcome; Achilles tendon Total Rupture Score; Achilles Tendon Resting Angle; Heel-Rise Height;

   Abstract : Acute Achilles tendon rupture is common and has increasing incidence. This is thought to be due to increasing activity and sports participation in middle age. Sustaining an Achilles tendon rupture means a long rehabilitation period and many patients do not achieve full recovery of strength and function. READ MORE

6. 4. Acute achilles tendon rupture. Evaluation of treatment and complications

   Author : Katarina Nilsson-Helander; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : achilles tendon rupture; re-rupture; ATRS; rupture; free flap; deep venous thrombosis; heel-rise work test; score; augmentation; movable brace;

   Abstract : The overall purpose of this thesis was to evaluate the treatment of patients with an acute Achilles tendon rupture with regard to complications, function and patient-reported outcome. Moreover, the purpose was to develop and evaluate new outcome measurements... READ MORE

7. 5. Achilles Tendon Ruptures Predictors; functional and economic impact

   Author : Olof Westin; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Achilles tendon rupture; re-rupture; predictors of outcome; health economics; Achilles tendon Total Rupture Score ATRS ;

   Abstract : Acute Achilles tendon rupture is a common injury, which leads to significant morbidity in patients. Many patients never recover their full function even after long rehabilitation, whereas others make a good recovery. The factors behind this are unknown. The optimal treatment strategy, whether or not to treat surgically, is still controversial. READ MORE
