RETURN TO SPORT AFTER ACHILLES TENDON RUPTURE
Background: Achilles tendon (AT) rupture is a common injury, particularly among physically active individuals, with a 30% growth rate in the most affected age group (30–39 years). Among professional athletes, 25% fail to return to sport (RTS), and those who do typically require 8–11 months of …

Acute achilles tendon rupture. Evaluation of treatment and complications
… 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. Introduction: Controversy still remains about whether surgical or non-surgical …

Risk factors for Achilles tendon injuries : an emphasis on the identification of specific genetic factors
… long arm of chromosome 9 were associated with Achilles tendon injuries, using a case-control study design. The specific objectives were: (i) to identify all genes located in the 9q32-q34.3 locus in close proximity to the ABO gene, that could be involved in tendon injuries (Chapter 2) and (ii) …

Anwendung der Bewegungsanalyse zur Bewertung des funktionellen Behandlungsergebnisses nach operativer Therapie der Achillessehnenruptur
Introduction: The Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) is usually surgically treated in order to reconnect the muscle fibres to the tendon. The muscle fibres which are not connected degenerate. Insufficiency of the triceps surae muscles is a common complication which results in a change of the kinematics …

Whole exome sequencing: a customised approach to exploring the genetic basis of musculoskeletal soft tissue injuries
… a role for genetics in the aetiology of chronic Achilles tendinopathy (AT) and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures. Genetic risk modifiers have primarily been identified using a hypothesis driven candidate gene approach. However, the ability to identify all risk-conferring variants using …
