Analytical and Functional Evaluation of Recovery Following Acute Rupture of the Achilles Tendon and Surgical Repair in Young Patients (ACHILLE)
October 9, 2017 updated by: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon
Acute rupture of the Achilles tendon is a very frequent sports injury.
Surgical repair is the usual treatment in young subjects, and although the optimal technique is still a matter of debate, conventional surgery with a direct approach is still the reference technique in young sportsmen and women.
Studies investigating the evolution of ankle muscle strength following surgery for a ruptured Achilles tendon are rare, even though it is a crucial criterion to determine the possibility of returning to the sport.
This project thus proposes to study, in comparison with the healthy ankle:(1) the evolution of muscle strength in the flexors/extensors and invertors/evertors of the injured ankle, evaluated using an isokinetic dynamometer, and (2) the evolution of stabilometry parameters, at 6 months, then at 12 months, following surgery for acute unilateral rupture of the Achilles tendon, operated on using the conventional technique in young sportsmen and women and in comparison with the healthy side.
