Surgery-Free achilles repair works just as well, study finds

NCT ID NCT07312097

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at 40 adults with a recent, complete Achilles tendon tear to see if non-surgical treatment works as well as surgery. Patients were randomly assigned to either a structured rehab program or open surgery. Results showed no major difference in strength or recovery, but the surgery group had more wound problems. The findings suggest that conservative care with early rehab is a safe and effective option.
