A follow-up study of 14 patients with Achilles tendon rupture is reported. The patients were treated by conservative methods, i.e. with immobilization in a plaster cast for 8 weeks with the foot in the relaxed equinus position. Solid healing of the tendon was obtained in 13 cases. As assessed by the patients, the end result was unsatisfactory in two, fairly satisfactory in one and fully satisfactory in 11 cases.Downloads
