Our collaborative study aims to demonstrate that acute partial Achilles Tendon Tears (ATTs) are not separate diagnostic entities from full ATTs. and should be thought of as a continuum rather than binary partial or full. We pooled anonymised data from four hospitals, identifying patients with acute partial ATTs on USS reports from 2019–2021. Patients were only included if they had an acute injury and no previous background Achilles tendinopathy.Aim
Methods
Lisfranc joint injuries are increasingly recognised in elite soccer and rugby players. Currently no evidence-based guidelines exist on timeframes for return to training and competition following surgical treatment. This study aimed to see whether return to full competition following surgery for Lisfranc injuries was possible in these groups and to assess times to training, playing and possible related factors. Over 46-months, a consecutive series of fifteen professional soccer (6) and rugby(9) players in the English Premierships/Championship, was assessed using prospectively collected data. All were isolated injuries, sustained during competitive matches. Each had clinical and radiological evidence of injury and was treated surgically within thirty-one days. A standardised postoperative regime was used.Introduction
