Achilles Tendon Rupture in Athletes
Journal of Surgical Orthopaedic Advances, 11/02/09
DeAngelis JP et al. – The best evidence available suggests that operative treatment has a lower rate of rerupture, a higher rate of return to the same level of sport participation, and a higher complication rate, if an open technique is used.

Augmentation of an Achilles tendon repair has demonstrated no clinical benefit. Rehabilitation with early mobilization leads to improved patient–reported outcomes.
