The short-term clinical effects of accelerated rehabilitation following open surgery for acute Achilles tendon rupture based on ultrasonography monitoring: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Individualized rehabilitation after acute Achilles tendon rupture (AATR) repair is important. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the short-term clinical effects of different rehabilitation processes following open surgery for AATR based on ultrasonography (US) monitoring.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study included 80 patients (mean age, 32.0 ± 4.4 years) who underwent open surgery for AATR repair between March 2022 and May 2023. The patients were categorised into two groups (ultrasound-guided rehabilitation group, UR, and conventional rehabilitation group, CR) according to whether postoperative rehabilitation relied on US monitoring. All patients received the same suture technique and immobilisation duration; they were clinically examined at 2
