This study aims to evaluate the functional outcomes of early weight-bearing in a functional orthosis for conservatively managed, complete AT ruptures. Also we tried to evaluate the patient reported outcome with this form of treatment. In this prospective study, we have analysed data from 41 patients with ultrasound diagnosed compete AT ruptures, with a gap of less than 5 cm. Every patient was treated in a functional weight-bearing orthosis (VACOped®) for 8 weeks with early weight-bearing following a specific treatment protocol, followed by rehabilitation with a trained physiotherapist.Abstract
