Assessment of Functional Conservative Treatment of Acute Complete Achilles Tendon Rupture. In recent years, treatment for Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) went through radical changes: from the conservative non-weight bearing approach to a functional protocol.

This change of approach has dramatically lowered the rate of re-rupture. Objective: To describe our preliminary results with this functional protocol and to assess outcome measures in the functional conservative treatment. Methods: The study compr...
