Individualiserad behandling viktig vid akut hälseneruptur
Sammanfattning
An acute Achilles tendon rupture is a common sports-related injury in middle-aged men. The diagnosis is always clinical and it is very
important that the diagnosis is not missed or delayed. The time period for tendon healing and rehabilitation is long and commonly results in
functional deficits. Only half of the patients return to the preinjury level of physical activity. There is no consensus in terms of the optimal
treatment for patients with acute Achilles tendon rupture. Both surgical and non-surgical treatment with modern rehabilitation protocols are valid
alternatives in the clinical day-by-day work. There is a need for future studies to optimize the treatment and identify predictors in order to
individualize the optimal treatment.
