  1. 1. Acute achilles tendon rupture. Evaluation of treatment and complications

    Författare :Katarina Nilsson-Helander; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :achilles tendon rupture; re-rupture; ATRS; rupture; free flap; deep venous thrombosis; heel-rise work test; score; augmentation; movable brace;

    Sammanfattning : The overall purpose of this thesis was to evaluate the treatment of patients with an acute Achilles tendon rupture with regard to complications, function and patient-reported outcome. Moreover, the purpose was to develop and evaluate new outcome measurements... LÄS MER

  3. 2. Acute Achilles Tendon Rupture. Outcome, Prediction and Optimized treatment

    Författare :Niklas Olsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Achilles tendon rupture; Outcome; Functional evaluation; ATRS;

    Sammanfattning : The optimal treatment for Achilles tendon rupture is the subject of debate and could be either surgical or non-surgical with various alternatives in terms of immobilization and rehabilitation. The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate the short- and long-term outcome of a new surgical treatment protocol, including early tendon loading and ROM training, in comparison with non-surgical treatment using a functional brace.

  4. 3. Acute achilles tendon rupture : predictors and intervention to promote outcome

    Författare :Erica Domeij Arverud; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Achilles tendon rupture;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Orthopaedic trauma and surgery is still associated with major complications related to immobilization, which results in reduced circulation, thromboembolic events, impaired healing and functional deficits. An acute Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) is associated with a high risk of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and varied extent of impaired physical ability. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Achilles Tendon Ruptures Predictors; functional and economic impact

    Författare :Olof Westin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Achilles tendon rupture; re-rupture; predictors of outcome; health economics; Achilles tendon Total Rupture Score ATRS ;

    Sammanfattning : Acute Achilles tendon rupture is a common injury, which leads to significant morbidity in patients. Many patients never recover their full function even after long rehabilitation, whereas others make a good recovery. The factors behind this are unknown. The optimal treatment strategy, whether or not to treat surgically, is still controversial. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Achilles tendon rupture: the evaluation and outcome of percutaneous and minimally invasive repair

    Författare :Michael R Carmont; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Achilles tendon rupture; percutaneous; minimally-invasive; outcome; Achilles tendon Total Rupture Score; Achilles Tendon Resting Angle; Heel-Rise Height;

    Sammanfattning : Acute Achilles tendon rupture is common and has increasing incidence. This is thought to be due to increasing activity and sports participation in middle age. Sustaining an Achilles tendon rupture means a long rehabilitation period and many patients do not achieve full recovery of strength and function. LÄS MER
