Individualiserad behandling viktig vid akut hälseneruptur. : Individualized treatment important in acute Achilles tendon ruptures

• An acute Achilles tendon rupture is a common sports-related injury in middle-aged men. The diagnosis is always clinical and it is very important that the diagnosis is not missed or delayed. The time period for tendon healing and rehabilitation is long and commonly results in functional deficits. Only half of the patients return to the preinjury lev-el of physical activity. There is no consensus in terms of the optimal treatment for patients with acute Achilles tendon rupture. Both surgical and non-surgical treatment with modern rehabilitation protocols are valid alternatives in the clinical day-by-day work. There is a need for future studies to optimize the treatment and identify predictors in order to individualize the optimal treatment.
