Summary

This study tested a medical device called AchilloCordPLUS in 19 adults who had a recent Achilles tendon rupture. The implant is designed to help the tendon heal after surgery. Researchers measured how well patients recovered over two years, including their ability to walk and return to sports, and tracked any complications like infection or re-rupture.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
AchilloCordPLUS System Implant (a medical device for tendon repair)
What this could lead to
If successful, this device could offer a safe and effective option for repairing a torn Achilles tendon, helping patients return to walking and sports faster.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 19 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Risks include infection, re-rupture, or nerve damage.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients must be skeletally mature and be 18 years old or above. * Patients requiring end to end repair for acute Achilles tendon rupture. * Patient is willing to participate in the study and have been informed of the nature of the study, agree to its follow-up and has provided written informed consent as approved by the Research Ethics Committee (REC).
