From what I've seen, both surgical and non-surgical interventions for achilles ruptures do fine. I've never seen a re-rupture. Just my musings from the literature above is I'm wondering if those who were non-surgical had lower perceived disability and returned to sport/activity too soon. Anecdotally both seem to take the same amount of time but surgical will have more post-immobilization stiffness/swelling vs strength deficits in non-surgical. |
Deleted my post... had a hot-headed GMG moment. Don't want to stir the pot so I'll just shut up now.
