Clinical Trial Summary

Patients with acute achilles tendon rupture will go through an acute ultrasound. Based on the distance between the ends of the tendon the investigators will decide if the patient is going to be treated with or without surgery.

Outcome
Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Difference in functional outcome between patients treated surgically and non-surgically The primary outcome will be a comparison of function by the heel-rise work test developed by Silbernagel et al. This is a validated test which combines both the height of each heel-rise and the number of repetitions. 3 months
Primary Difference in functional outcome between patients treated surgically and non-surgically The primary outcome will be a comparison of function by the heel-rise work test developed by Silbernagel et al. This is a validated set of tests measuring vertical jump, strength and endurance 6 months
Primary Difference in functional outcome between patients treated surgically and non-surgically The primary outcome will be a comparison of function by the heel-rise work test developed by Silbernagel et al. This is a validated set of tests measuring vertical jump, strength and endurance 12 months
Primary Difference in functional outcome between patients treated surgically and non-surgically The primary outcome will be a comparison of function by the heel-rise work test developed by Silbernagel et al. This is a validated set of tests measuring vertical jump, strength and endurance 24 months
Secondary Ultrasonography (US) Achilles tendon length - measured using US extended field of view 6 months
Secondary Ultrasonography (US) Achilles tendon length - measured using US extended field of view 12 months
Secondary Ultrasonography (US) Achilles tendon length - measured using US extended field of view 24 months
Secondary Achilles Tendon Rupture Score (ATRS) Patient reported outcome measure (PROM) specific for achilles tendon rupture 3 months
Secondary Achilles Tendon Rupture Score (ATRS) Patient reported outcome measure (PROM) specific for achilles tendon rupture. Minimum value 0. Maximum value 100. Higher scores mean better outcome. 6 months
Secondary Achilles Tendon Rupture Score (ATRS) Patient reported outcome measure (PROM) specific for achilles tendon rupture. Minimum value 0. Maximum value 100. Higher scores mean better outcome. 12 months
Secondary Achilles Tendon Rupture Score (ATRS) Patient reported outcome measure (PROM) specific for achilles tendon rupture. Minimum value 0. Maximum value 100. Higher scores mean better outcome. 24 months
Secondary Physical Activity Scale (PAS) PROM to measure overall physical activity. Minimum value 1. Maximum value 6. Higher scores mean a better outcome. 3 months
Secondary Physical Activity Scale (PAS) PROM to measure overall physical activity. Minimum value 1. Maximum value 6. Higher scores mean a better outcome. 6 months
Secondary Physical Activity Scale (PAS) PROM to measure overall physical activity. Minimum value 1. Maximum value 6. Higher scores mean a better outcome. 12 months
Secondary Physical Activity Scale (PAS) PROM to measure overall physical activity. Minimum value 1. Maximum value 6. Higher scores mean a better outcome. 24 months
