Abstract des Autors
The efficacy of the nonoperative and operative approaches to Achilles tendon rupture has been debated in the literature. In addition, there is little consensus regarding postoperative immobilization with regard to immobilization type, casting position, cast time, and weight-bearing progression. The rehabilitation of the surgically repaired Achilles tendon has not been well described in the literature. The epidemiology and biomechanics of Achilles tendon rupture as well as splint fabrication and rehabilitation protocol for the surgically repaired Achilles tendon in two patients will be presented.
