The economic cost and patient-reported outcomes of chronic Achilles tendon ruptures
Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics, 2020 Purpose While most Achilles tendon ruptures are dramatic and diagnosed quickly, some are missed, with a risk of becoming chronic. A chronic Achilles tendon rupture is defined as a rupture that has been left untreated for more than 4 weeks. By mapping the
