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 without surgery or open surgical repair. The results showed no major difference in strength, tendon length, or overall recovery between the two groups. However, only the surgery group had wound complications, suggesting that conservative care with early rehab is a safe and effective option.
