Surgical Versus Nonsurgical Treatment of Acute Achilles Tendon Rupture: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Trials

摘要

Treatment options for Achilles tendon rupture include surgical and nonsurgical management. The meta-analysis by Soroceanu et al aimed to compare the surgical and nonsurgical management of Achilles tendon ruptures with regard to the rerupture rate, overall rate of other complications, return to work, strength, calf circumference, and functional outcomes and to explore the effects of early range of motion on the rerupture rate.
