1. Achilles Tendon Ruptures Predictors; functional and economic impact
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

3. Chronic Achilles tendon rupture - surgical reconstruction and post-operative outcomes
Abstract : When the treatment of Achilles tendon ruptures is delayed by more than 4 weeks, the rupture is classified as chronic. This thesis aims to examine the postoperative outcome of chronic Achilles tendon ruptures treated surgically in terms of long-term functional outcomes, patient-reported outcome measurements, biomolecular changes, and economic cost.

5. Effects of early functional mobilization after acute Achilles tendon rupture repair
Abstract : Background: Patient outcome after Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) varies greatly, and complications such as deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and tendon elongation are common. Although accelerated rehabilitation is considered safe, the optimal content of the rehabilitation protocol is still unknown. READ MORE
