Abstract
The incidence of #Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) has continue to
increase in the last decade. A successful management of ATR is based on
both the treatment intervention as well as #rehabilitation regimens.
Treatments for the Achilles tendon ruptures can be divided into
conventional treatment, #minimally invasive surgery and open surgery. The
rehabilitation protocols are highly diverse but can be classified as
early immobilization and accelerated rehabilitation. The relative
benefits of all managements remain a subject of debate due to the
constantly changing effectiveness standard for ATR repair. Complications
incidence is a universal measure that could be explored to comparing
different managements. The reported incidence of major complications is
controversial and different managements demonstrate a disparate
complication spectrum. In the future, efforts should be made in
exploring more the #optimal treatment and rehabilitation protocol. The
ideal surgical intervention would be both minimally invasive to reduce
complications and strong enough to withstand accelerated rehabilitation. Achilles tendon is the thickest and strongest tendon in human body. It
is also the tendon that most vulnerable to rupture. The incidence of
Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) has continue to increase in the last
decade [1]. In Denmark, the annual incidence was 55.2 and 14.7 (all
member per 10,000) for the males and the females respectively in 2012,
with a 22% rise comparing to 2001 [2]. A palpable gape and positive
Thompson test as well as #Ultrasonography and #magnetic resonance image is
applied to the diagnosis of ATR. A successful management of ATR is
based on both the treatment intervention as well as rehabilitation
regimens.
