Kein Einfluss der Physiotherapie auf das klinische Ergebnis nach operativ behandelter Achillessehnenruptur?

Abstract

Physiotherapy and age of the patients involved were not found to influence the outcome after open augmented repair of Achilles tendon ruptures followed by a standardised early rehabilitation. These results should be confirmed by a prospective randomised trial. Also elderly patients participating in demanding sport activities should receive a surgical repair.
