Tendon Rupture Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effect of Autologous Conditioned Plasma Treatment for Conservative Treated Total Achilles Tendon Tears: Randomized Double Blinded Placebo Control Trial

Is FDA regulated | No |
Health authority | Denmark: Ethics Committee |
Study type | Interventional |
The purpose is to see if Autologous Conditioned Plasma (ACP) promote and accelerating tendon
tissue healing in Conservative treated total Achilles Tendon Tears.
40 healthy males were randomized to either receive ACP or Placebo (saline) around the
ruptured achilles tendon at baseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and again after 6 weeks during the 8
weeks immobilization period with an orthosis. Ultrasound and symptoms scores (ATLS) was
performed at baseline, after 8 weeks immobilization and again after 3 month, 6 month and 12
month. Scoring and functional tests was performed after the 8 weeks immobilization and again
after 12 weeks, 24 weeks and 52 weeks from injury date.

Primary | ATRS (Achilles Tendon Total Rupture Score) | Patient-reported validated scoring tool developed for assessment of symptoms and physical activity after treatment for acute achilles tendon rupture (score 0-100 points) | After immobilization period (8 weeks) and again after 12 weeks, 24 weeks and 52 weeks from injury date | Yes |
Secondary | Isometric Strength test | The subjects were asked to produce an isometric contraction of the calf muscle with increasing force to their maximum voluntary effort (MVC) over a 10 sec period. The MVC was performed on both legs to measure the differences between the two legs. | After 12 weeks, 24 weeks and 52 weeks from injury date | Yes |
Secondary | Heel-rise test | The accumulated work made doing repetitive heel-rises is measured on each leg to see the differences between the two legs. | After 12 weeks, 24 weeks and 52 weeks from injury date | Yes |
Secondary | Tendon elongation | Tendon length was measured with ultrasound on both legs during intervention to see possible tendon elongation after achilles rupture. The landmarks for measure the tendon length was the proximal part of the top of the calcaneus bone and most distal part of the muscular-tendinous part of the m. gastrocnemius medial. | At baseline, after immobilization (8 weeks) and again after 12 weeks, 24 weeks and 52 weeks from injury date | Yes |
